It appears counter intuitive, but the sway bar drop link cupped
washers each install with cup lip facing up/down. So, the concave side
points away from the bushing. You can kind of see that detail in
Bentley P. 40.7

Oddly, for the Syncro those washers almost look like they're installed
with concave surface in towards the bushings.  P. 40.26  But I
digress.
