Default Tail Waggle - New Watts Linkage Bushings

I have what feels like a decent amount of Tail Waggle when I go over a bump.... seems a bit more that I would expect. And, in short, my question is would new Watts Linkage Bushing help this out (and is there a way to test them)?

I still have the SLS bags... I run tires at 38 front, 40 rear, I have replaced Shocks with Bielstiens in the last 30K miles, I have new tie rod ends, and front springs, etc.... and new front and rear sway bar bushings...

Check that the watts linkage on the rear axle have been installed the right way round. A friend had extreme tail waggle on his and after looking at the watts linkage figured it was wrong, swapping it cured the problem.

Sounds good. My dumb question is how do I tell which is the "right" way around?
