1988 monte carlo end link bushing were at approx 20 degree angle to sway bar, and the flat bushings that came with umi kit were not aligning to the holes, were wearing one side really bad. i shimmed the sway bar 1/2" off the frame, cut four 1/4" chamefers (both sides) in the sway bar holes, used white rounded bushings going to the sway bar. used the red flat bushings that came with kit on the lower control arm, they were pretty close to being at a 90 degree angle to control arm. i will run a few races and see how they are wearing. if i don't like how they are wearing i will build a bracket to drop sway bar 1" off frame. plus i put a one longer bolt in the end link.

check out the umi upper control arms, they are really easy to align, runing 5 + degrees caster, and 1 1/4 degree negitive camber, with 1/8 degree toe out per wheel. Gary
