Default Suspension Techniques crx

I am installing the 7/8" bar on the rear of my CRX. The first issue is that the brackets do not tighten up enough at the shock base to keep itself from spinning - a pain, but not really a problem. I welded on some flat stock to keep it from spinning when the bar applies pressure to it. Fixed.

However, the link seems to be binding. I know I read about this on here but the search is disabled. Someone give me an idea how to correct?

So basically the ST link brackets suck and are just plain wrong. Bad design. I am mocking up some changes to them I will post some pics when I am done.

I have never been a fan of the way ST sway bars are designed and connect to the LCA's. It just doesn't look as effective as a bar more like OEM that turns 90 degrees and then connects to a vertical end link to the LCA.
