Default Fitted 1 side of the rear drops links - Correct ?

Been doing alot to the car, only managed to get round to fitting one side of the rear anti roll bar drop links,powerflex ones, now, do these pics look right ?

on a wrx classic


the way the rubber bushes are, look kinda twisted etc, like i said,havent fitted other side so wondering if this is normal fitment ??

looking at the other one which isnt fitted yet, it does seem the one rubber side does protrude unlike its other side

sorry for bad pics,its night now








cheers

ive found some washers that are the same size as the purple bush,wahay,anyhoo,so that will alow it to all compress correctly,looking at the old drop link the original washer with the bolt is o.kbut these powerflex ones are alot bigger in diameter so hopefully the washers will work

cheers

When I fitted mine I left the bolts slightly loose. When I dropped the car off the jack and sitting at it's proper ride height, I tightened them up.
Been told thats the best way to do them.

even tho a tad harder to tighten the bolts up that was the best way, i also used those washers i was on about,seemed stupid having only the anti roll bar tip/end pushing against that hush rubber bush, so with the metal washer in betweem eliviates the problem of the tip tearing the rubber bush,hopefully !!!

cheers all
