Default Can't install sway bar links on A/M a arms.

When I bought my car it had a set of a/m a arms on it and the front sway bar was not hooked up. I picked up a set of Moog links and tried installing them last night and I can't get them on. If I pull the bar down far enough for the links to reach the arms then the holes are way off center. Anybody else have this problem? I have no idea what brand arms they are, but they look exactly like these....

It can vary depending what your caster is set at, but try using a jack to bring the control arm up, it should line up better allowing you to install the end-links.

I have the weight of the car on the front wheels and its still not right. I put cinder blocks under the tires and lowered the car on those. I'll get some pictures of the sway and a arms so you can see what I'm talking about.
