rear end links-bolt up or down.
I just replaced one broken rear end link and the other wasn't long for this world. I ran the bolt through the top. It didn't seem to matter which way they went, since the stock original was threaded at both ends, but I'm curious now. Any pix would be cool. I used the TRW heavy duty pair. They were $11.00 with poly bushings. Good deal, I thought. Daily driver now. I have a new job. I've had a company truck for the last 20 years.

It doesn't matter. If the part of the bolt that goes through the nut doesn't touch anything through full suspension travel, it won't matter which way the bolt goes through.
