Is this correct?
I decided to replace the anti roll bar rubbers today.
this is a UK spec a Blazer (RHD).
The assembly looks nothing like all of the videos on line.
can anyone tell me if this is correct please guys?
this is the replaced side, but the other side is the same.
thank you.

Could it be different because it is Righ Hand Drive for the UK?

Hmmm.... My bet is that lower control arm is a replacement and the sway bar end link tab was in the wrong spot, which from what I gather is extremely common with these aftermarket control arms for some reason... I'm willing to bet that whatever shop install them "ghetto-fabbed" up that mount to MAKE them work rather than getting control arms that were made correctly.
The mounting tabs should be in line with the shock mount, which is where it looks like your sway bar comes to, so the sway bar is correct, the end link is correct, just the mounting tab on the control arm is wonky...
Here's a photo of my OEM lower control arms that I took when I installed my new end links a little while ago, for comparison.

I have just been looking at all the web sites I know, and it looks like they are all selling the incorrect part.
would you know where I can get the correct one please Blazer Red?

I have just checked a couple of online videos on changing the rubbers and it seems they have the same control arm as me, but their bar is longer.
is it possible that there are 2 types of control arm and sway bar on the same vehicle?

If You take a closer look to the photos, the sway bar mount in Your case is on the left side of the shock absorber mount, while on blazen_red_4x4 photo it's on a right side. Something messed with control arms?
EDIT:
I've taken a photo of my Beast:
...and looks like the mount for sway bar is on a left side of the shock absorber mount. I think You may either have improper size of sway bar or an improper set of control arms. I bet someone has ordered the wrong parts and made a "crappy fix".
