Re-Installing front sway bar

How do I go about doing this? Got the Cusco out and the stok one just doesn't want to go back. I can only get one of the sides into the endlink and the other wont.

You will probably have to put the car back on the ground to unload the endlinks.

Yeah, thats what i had to do. Haveing the car on a jack makes the tires drop and puts stress on the endlinks.

Or you can just turn the wheel all the way to the side that isn't connected yet. You should be able to reach it then.

This was a *****.

Since I don't have ramps I just put the sway bar and the endlink as close as I could get, dropped it to the ground. I then reached around the front of the tire and hand tightened the bolt. THEN jacked the car back up and tightened it all back down. Bushings are still beign a ***** though.

Your stock ones won't fit anymore... you got new ones with the bar right?
