Front sway bar problem

[Doug Chahoy]

Here’s the problem, I installed UMI upper and lower control arms with half inch taller ball joints and Moog 5660 springs, I’m using the UMI end links. The F-41 1 1/4 inch sway bar that was on the car won’t line up. The car is in the air but I have a jack under each lower ball joint to put the suspension at ride height. Any ideas how to solve this latest PITA

do you have the bar on upside down?

Aw cmon I may not be a mechanic, but I’m not THAT dumb LOL. I left the bushings and brackets in place on the bar when removed so I wouldn’t have any confusion. It’s riding back a little to much to line up

I'm dumb enough to do that cause I have done that and worse....

have you checked with the guys at UMI?

Control arms on the wrong side?

If you mounted to the end links only where does the center of the bar end up?

Control arms on the wrong side?

on the front page of the directions for the arms they picture which side is which. I’ve read on here where some have done that.
No,

Using a jack and adjusting accordingly, I got it together. With these pivoting metal bushing rod ends (which are shorter than stock) I’m lost on adjustment. Do I thread as much as I can into the end or only so far?

Just Google "sway bar end link adjustment"; there are tons of articles and videos, whichever you prefer. The principal is the same, regardless of the car.
