Loosen them up.
Exactly like that. When I get one side where I want it, I count my threads showing above the nut and try to get the same # of threads showing on the other side, kind of to make things equal and tightened down the same

Ok, I've been trying to find the D bushings for the rear bar. What size bushings do I want with the stock sway bar? The bar is 19mm, right? Everyone around here (Parts Plus, Autozone, etc) has like 23mm bushings come up on their computer when they look for the bushings for my 2000 WS6??? Are the bushings supposed to be bigger? I'm such a noob with this stuff, sorry...

19mm is the stock size rear, some 1LE 4th gens got a 21mm rear bar (and bigger front bar as well with it).
Some third gens got something like 22 or 23mm rear.
