Default Installing RE GEN II Quick Discos

Hey all,

I'm passed the difficult part of getting the pressed-in torx bolts out of the tabs. I have everything installed now but my problem is this: On one side, the new "swaybar link" slides on and off nice and easily and when connected, is basically straight up and down. On the OTHER side, the link will not go on or off easily because when connected, it is at a diagonal (sp?) angle as opposed to being straight. I've shifted my Sway bar as far over as I can to try and compensate for this, I have hammered the sh** out of the tabs to try and make more room to straighten that one link out when its connected but both to no avail. Also for some reason, the properly fitting link is adjusted much longer than the other in order for them both to "somewhat" line up with the new pins...I'm at a loss. Is my sway bar f***ed? is my stock track bar and 3 inches of lift height offsetting my axle over enough to cause this misalignment? What do you guys think? Any similar experiences?

Thanks.

This.

You can redrill the hole to move the axle over or better yet install an adjustable trac-bar.

This is kind of what I'm thinking, but right now I don't want to believe that I now have to get an adjustable trackbar so I can center my axle back an inch, just to be able to use my discos...

Thanks for the reply though.
