Wait... you twin charged your Sunfire, but can't install a sway bar?!
Just messing with you.
If no one has done so by this weekend, I'll post up pictures.
As for the front bushings, from top to bottom you should have:
bolt w/washer,
bushing facing down,
-passes through sway bar-
another busing facing up,
spacer,
bushing facing down,
-passes through control arm-
bushing facing up,
a nut with a washer (may be welded to the nut)
result should look like this, with the control arm and the sway bar between the blue bushings:
Only, if you have a spacer it goes in the middle like he said.

on a side note... how hard is it to get a new bar in the front? do you really have to drop the subframe?
Is that the eibach bar? My addco points the other way...
That actually looks like the new Addco bar, in a black finish.
I'm think it was installed upside down too... The bushings surrounding the sway bar don't seem to sit right.
This thread agrees.
@!#$!!! ahah i new it would be in upside down... although when i put it the other way it seems to far out of line with the holes on the control arms? and the bushings are going to make the same contact either way wil they not?

i couldn't tell you... i have my engine out so all i did was pop off my tie rods and it snaked out easy.. but even with the engine in it would come out easy.. i just don't know how you could tighten the D bushing things on the K member with out the engine out

Yeah it looks like the bushings are cupped the wrong way, they need flipped over. Should have taken mental note of how the stock stuff was, that's what I did on my Beretta.

By turning the bar around, the holes for the endlinks in the sway bar will actually be almost perpendicular to the bolt used for the endlink. This will put less stress on the bushings pressed against it, and they won't end up bunched up or slipping from the washers.
so then it goes like this??
