Having trouble This shouldn't be hard, but for some reason its killing me. I am putting in a new front swaybar, and it seems as if the new endlinks, Qa1 maybe? Not sure what brand, are a little short. I was able to barely get the driver's side threaded into the nut with all the bushings and washers, but the passanger side is killing me. The car is level, I think just with the shorter endlink bolts and some slightly different tollerances, they won't reach. Any suggestions?
I am going to try and find a longer bolt to use for that one, but If I can't, is it ok to use it without the top washer on the endlnk (Thats how close I'm talking) untill the bushings settle a little and then put it back?

Are the a-arms hanging down or is the front end supported. Sometimes with the front supsenstion at full hang with the sway bar detached the fall a little more and can make getting all the bushings and washers in difficult. Just a thought . . .

I got it. One more question. Say I forgot to grease one of the bracket bushings, is there something I can do to get some in there? I removed the braket but there was too much pressure on the bushing to get it out without loosening the endlinks.
Can I spray it with silicone lube or is that not good for poly? Thanks.
