Tighten the bolt down until you see two threads sticking out from the bottom of the nut after it is installed on the vehicle.

What holds the sway bar in place?
A sway bar is connected via rubber bushings to the car body or frame in the middle. Outer ends of the sway bar are connected to the parts of the vehicle suspension that holds the wheel (struts or control arms). The part that connects the outer ends of the sway bar to the suspension component is called a sway bar link.
Where do you grease sway bar bushings?
Lubricate the bushings with an all-purpose silicone lubricant. Place the bushings back on the sway bar until they reach the stop on the sway bar. Turn the bushings so the split edge of the bushings face the front of the vehicle.
