Default Sway bar not lineing up..

trying to put my new suspension techniques front sway bar on and for some reason its about a inch to long on both sides for the holes on the lca so when you go to assemble the endlinks it gets all bound up, but its the same length as the factory sway bar.. any thoughts?

Do you have your suspension compressed?

That wouldn't matter.. The suspension moves up and down not forwards and backwards...

Maybe cuz the swaybar does its job? Stabilizer, right?

In some cars stabilizers are very hard to put in. And if it is samekind as the OEM one, why it could be wrong?

im telling you, dont bother with the 22mm ST front bar.

use either the DA (23 hollow) or EF Sedan (19mm) bar.

lol tyson im gunna go to a junkyard and get those right away ok? but for the time being Friggen help me get this one to line up lol.

Twilight.. I could handle a 1/2 inch but a inch is a lil much when you look at it there is no real way you can make it work because your basicly smashing the bushings on the endlinksbecause you have to tighten them down to close the gap and when you go to tighten them you end up haveing to over tighten them to compensate for the large amount of room you need to close up to make it line up right...So I don't think it would be waise to put that much stress on a end link.... well you might but not me..

I disconnect the lca. So the lca move freely.
you could bend it back/forward a little.
