I am installing the rear swaybar. Attached is a pic of the passenger side of my rear swaybar. (bolts are not torqued at this point). My question: in the FFR supplemental instructions, the cartoon diagram places the 0.50 inch spacer on the OUTSIDE side of the female rod end; however, the pictures in the supplemental instructions show the 0.50 inch spacer on the INSIDE side of the female rod end. In their pics, the hanger appears to angle towards the outside; mine seems to angle towards the inside. Is this (my install) correct?

Thank you for your help!

I'd recommend putting the spacer on the other side so the rod ends are more upright. Factory Five has used different sway bar suppliers. Two different ones from what I've installed. They were bent a bit differently and likely the instructions may not keep up.

The sway link should be installed as straight as possible
