(you can just shine a flash light straight down and you should see the yellow bushing and the bar itself).

i suppose the bushings wont pop out from the clamps because the bushings themselves are keyed, but just wondering.

here's the driver side bushing looking at it from the engine bay (top). does yours look like this? the bushing is slightly pushed towards the center of the car. this is the same way on the passenger side.

Kenchan, this has happened to me and the tab that holds the bushing from sliding out permanently broke off after a spirited run. The whole bushing slid out of the bracket and caused the sway bar to hit the brace area on every bump. I didn't have any spare bushings so I reversed the bushing so that the unbroken tab was on the outside and put it back on. Will be contacting whiteline to see if I can get any replacements but yeah.....

Bushing in question is front-driver. The car has seen about 6-7 autocrosses as well.
