Cusco rear sway,

Can anyone tell me how to get those big hard bushings in the stock bushing mounts? Do you have to spread the "u" mount? Any help is greatly appreciated.

It's a lot easier with the car on the ground, not jacked up. And don't tighten any bolts until you have them all in place.

Car was on ramps,

so it was "loaded", but the bushings barely fit in the brackets without the bar in the bushings. I found this pic, the bushings stick out on both sides. Obviously can be done, but I'm thinking I need to spread the bracket.

I did the whiteline (same style) front and rear, and I basically had to force the bushings in, any way I could. Didn't have to spread them, though. I put mine in the U-mounts before I put them in the endlinks.
