I just did bushings as well. Don't see how it will matter. I could not find any reason it would be any different. When I lifted the sway bar back into place I noticed both of mine are on the bottom. I guess there is less chance of water funneling into the sway bar that way? wasn't on purpose, just how it fit. Ask me again in 9 years. A was impressed that the bushings came pre-lubed. Wasn't expecting that.
