I tryed to put my rear sway bar on today and I couldn't figure out how the end attaches.
Here are the only "instructions" I had to go on.

The top picture is the end peice of the rear sway. The bottom picture is the rear sway. Can anybody tell me exactly what part in the top picture attaches to the car?
Please only answer if you know for sure because two of us were guessing for a while and couldn't figure it out and we had the car and bars right there.  Thanks in advance...

That connection doesn't look like mine.  IIRC, the O-O part is replaced by a O-- piece. The "--", a threaded shaft, should attach to where the stock bar went...with a bushing on top and bottom of the control arm.  
I would take mine out and reinstall while taking pics, but I wouldn't be able to do it until at least next weekend.

Yeah, lance, thats how my front one looked. This rear one is all weird. I'll see if I can get more pics later today. Since lanceS13's doesn't look like that, I'm gona assume I have the correct s14 rear bar.

I did, we couldn't figure out how it went on there. Someone else with whitelines on an s14 helped me out though. Turned out to be the wrong peice.  Doh!
