   Bolt at the top, bolt at the bottom
   
   What you might find is when taking the top one off you'll need to put an allan key into the end of the thread to stop it turning, these tend to then round off meaning it will save you lots of time and anger to just hack the bloody thing off.

   well hoping i don't have to, but we will see, and also might be a stupid question but i brought my drop links and there is like a bend on the bolt, if that makes sense? on the one facing upwards, on both of them but going different ways....but i havn't seen the ones on the car to compare them. they are for a saxo thou
