Okay I installed engery suspension sway bar bushings & end links. When I installed it I did the passenger side first, whitch was pretty easy after getting the nuts into the car for the bushing; when I did the driver side I installed the bushing with no problem but when it came to th end link it was 2 inches higher than it was supose to be. I tried loosening the bushing but it didnt help so I used a crow bar to force it down into place & I put on the bolt & tightened it.
The Problem: Now every time I drive, & I break harder than normal or turn kind of hard I hear a noise like the sway bar is being bent than, getting put back into place. What is causing this did I install the bushings & end links wroung?
& sorry about the grammer errors & spelling ones, I'm posting this using my cell

Pictures of how you installed everything would be helpful. Why use a crowbar? Why not raise or lower the suspension to get everything to go together without being forced?
Was this on the front? Also I didn't know ES made endlinks...was it just the front endlink bushings?
Sounds like one side was loaded somehow, and like 117 said, you may want to rais up the side that won't bolt up.

Oh, yes definately. Jack the car up from the middle of the front crossmember. There is a spot there...then put jack stands under the jack points behind the front wheels.
