There's a thin rubber Oring (actually semi-circled crossection ring) glued to this rather large diameter washer.

THis rubberized washer first fits into the sway bar. THe rubber side of the washer mates to the control arm. THe metal side of the washer faces the front of the car.

Next, the control arm fits thru the sway bar.

THird,(if one decides to retrofit this), the 320-ASKIT bushing fits on; The cupped side mates to the control arm. THe flat side faces the tip or threaded end of the sway bar


Fourth, the metal washer slips on;

finally, the nut, torqued to 50-60 ft-lbs.

: The rubber ring you talk about on the sway bar...is there only one per side? If so which side of the control arm does it go on?
