It has been brought to my attention by fellow member chevyriders..
That the links may not be installed correctly !!

chevyriders or anyone else please elaborate or post a picture to see the difference..

so I can get this corrected by the shop that installed them.

I see the difference indicated by the red arrows, what is the correct way ?"

******
Passenger Side.............................................. ...........................Drivers Side

Both are wrong, reread how newguy described it and you are missing a spacer on each side. I think you need to find a new shop...

bolt should be pointing downward, just realized i marked that opposite. but that should give you an idea of the bushing order

Just go see The Count. I bet they'd hook you up plus **** interior, horns on your bull bar and pretty pinstripes to boot!


Might cost you 50k though...
