Default noise plz help

i have a set of hotchkis sway bars and recently i have been hearing a pop/knock noise from the rear. i have a question...i did take an endlink off once and put it back on but for some reason i think i put it on upside down. does this matter or are both sides of the endlink the same?
also tightening the endlinks i didnt find any torque specs for that but u can only tighten so much before the endlink spins and doesnt tighten anymore.....anyone have an input or suggestions?

Have you upgraded your suspension at all or is the sway the only mod in the rear?

I have the trd springs.
And the hotchkis sway bar set.
The pop first started when I turned left so I took it off the stiff setting and put it soft and now I hear it at all times....

Ok so Fixed the problem!!!!
The endlinks don't appear to be different but if u put it the wrong way it doesn't tighten all the way the endlink spins as u turn it not letting u tighten it all the way. That cause the noise. So future refrence to anyone to takes theirs off make sure to pay attention.

That is why it has a hex key hole in the end of it. You are supposed to hold that with a hex key while you tighten the endlink nut. That is the way the endlink is supposed to be installed.
