Newbie here, I’ve searched and I’m still not sure on which way the sway bar goes.
1991 Z28. Spohn 33/34mm sway bar, tubular aftermarket lower control arm. Aftermarket and oem were the same in “geometry”. I won’t have this car off of the jacks for months to come to be able to set it on the ground to see how it sits. I’m trying to finish this so I won’t have to deal with it in the future.
Does this look right? I had the sway bar on with the wheel and the end would hit the strut. Reversing the sway bar is about the same with the arm up against the frame and will not have movement.
In advance,
thank you for your help.

Or maybe lengthen. All of that is mostly impossible to tell about with the whole thing hanging in the air like that.
Ideally, when all is said and done (usually ALOT more has been said than done), you'll want the sway bar ends to be horizontal, the link bolts to be vertical, and the bushings to look like they were meant to live together, when everything is at normal ride height. Hard to say whether all that will happen with what you've got now. Butt it looks like you're at least somewhat somewhere nearly almost kinda in the area code, if not necessarily yet in the zip code, let alone the ballpark. I mean, it's not seriously defective, or messed up with a capital F, or any of that. Be at peace and move on, and fine tune when you get there.
