    Default Sway bar link pin washers

    I received a new set of sway bar link pins and bushes for the front and a new set of bushes for the rear to help keep things steady through the rough seas. Now, Im a bit confused about the orientation of the washers and they diddnt come with instructions (ebay specials). I vaguely remember reading that they must face outward (fig. A), but my common sense says inward (fig. B) because the washers seem to 'cup' the bushes nicely. It probably isnt a big deal either way, or on the other hand it could cause the bushes fail within a few weeks.

    Thoughts?

    You see them both ways from the factory, but A is how 95% of them are so that's the way to go

    Yeah, never cup the bushes. You need to allow the bushes to flex a lot
