So, I was given a brand new Rear Sway Bar 67-72(coil spring) of unknown manufacture, but the components look pretty well made. I was told it was probably about 12 years old, but never installed. The bushings, etc. are still in great shape.

I have looked on most of the standard manufacturer's websites , but have not seen this exact one.

Anyway, it is the standard type that is attached to the bottom of the trailing arms and the links attach to the sides of the frame via brackets.

I have it mapped out how it should install, but I am curious about the attachments on the trailing arms.

The brackets will be parallel with the frame, and the trailing arms run at an angle so the bolts for the brackets get very close to the edge of the trailing arm and the center web of the trailing arm.

Is this typical of most of this type of sway bar, or am I just being picky?
