    Questions RE: Front Stabilizer Drop Links

    I need some help re: front stabilizer bar assemblies. The attached photo shows 6 drop links (3 sets). One set (2 drop links) has the rubber bushings, as you can see. I have several questions and would like to consult the collective wisdom of the community:

    First, upon close examination, i realized that one end of all 6 drop links is 'bent' a few degrees on all of the drop links. Are the drop links supposed to be 'bent' on one end?

    Second, I also noticed that two of the drop links are about 3-4mm shorter than the others. Which length is correct for what car? (911, 912, 914?)

    Third, assuming that one end of the drop links is supposed to be 'bent' (since they all have the same characteristic) which end is the top when they get installed?

    Thanks in advance to the registry community. I always appreciate the collective knowledge that is out there.

    Length is early/late 911 front suspension - follows the change in A arms and hubs, I believe.

    been in the business for 40 years and had the same question about where the bent end went. it goes on top with drop link aimed outward to line up with A arm mount when in ride height position. Gordon
