Replacing the rear sway bar mounts/bushings and was wondering which way the arrow goes, as well as where the cut/split in the bushing goes in relation to the arrow.

When doing mine, I just put them in as they came out….can’t remember without crawling under.

I'd position the split section towards the top/rear. The arrow didn't exist when I purchased replacement brackets some years ago. But the bracket is shared by other models and so it might apply there and not here.

That’s how I have it, will torque everything down and monitor wear/binding.
 
Maybe forward for the arrows🤷‍♂️😆

In the front, note the orientation of the bracket. They are not the same, they are asymmetrical and the shoulder of the bracket faces out. My newer Toyota brand bushings. did not have arrows either.

Note it the back that do not mount on the same plane.

Thanks man! That’s how I got it. I don’t think the arrows mean much, bracket/mount look symmetrical to me

When you get under there you will see the stock brackets are not symmetrical. May or may not matter if yours are not identical.
 
On an FJ I understand the arrows point up. Though that is not exactly helpful on the Hundo. I just did mine. Seams toward the rear/up on the bushings and arrows forward/down. I am hoping that is correct. The brackets look symmetrical to me.
