OK so I already installed my sway bar end links which were a pain. I put the bolt going down meaning i put the side that gets the nut screwed on under the lower A -Arm.

I just opened my Assembly manual and it says its Mandatory that the bolt goes from the bottom up. killin me!

so if I leave it as is then is that bad? I just dont want to have to dissasemble it again.

I'd leave it alone. Hotchkis recommends their bar directions say put it in the way you did. And then there's the old "Just in case the nuts were to come off" theory...where at least with your positioning...it wouldn't fall out :).

I really don't think it matters.
