Hi,

I am trying to install an Addco rear sway bar I bought from TRF a year ago and
am having some problems.  The "installation instructions" are awful!  Has
anyone done this lately?  I finally decided to ignore the instructions and
just do what seems to make sense.  The methods I tried resulted in the bolt
for attaching to the trailing arm being either too long or too short.  Here is
what I tried for attaching to the trailing arm (stack from the top going
down):

Option 1:

1. bolt head
2. cup washer
3. rubber bushing
4. medium size flat washer
5. large size flat washer
6. trailing arm
7. large size flat washer
8. medium size flat washer
9. rubber bushing
10. cup washer
11. cup washer
12. rubber bushing
13. sway bar
14. rubber bushing
15. cup washer
16. nyloc nut - except the bolt isn't long enough

Option 2:
1. bolt head
2. cup washer
3. rubber bushing
4. medium size flat washer
5. large size flat washer
6. trailing arm
7. large size flat washer
8. medium size flat washer
9. rubber bushing
10. sway bar
11. rubber bushing
12. cup washer
13. nyloc nut - except the bolt is too long (not enough threads)

Option 2 also results in one rubber bushing left over, which seems wrong.


Any help would be appreciated!
