Default Disconnect problems

Hey, i just installed my disconnects last friday and have been having some slight problems. The driver side one went on easy, no problem but the passenger disconnect is clearly out of line with the swaybar at the top and is on an angle which i fear will ruin the bushing in due time. The passenger one keeps twisting forward and loosening, i presume this is because in that forward position it is more vertical, and tat is where it wants to be. I am thinking i need an adjustable trackbar... any ideas? has anyone else had this problem?

i've tried washers and lockwashers but nothing has worked yet...

thanks, Jb

i can get pics is needed

I think an adjustable trac-bar made for the lift you have would definitely help. JMO

As a stop-gap fix you might try locktite or lock nuts, or both.
