Hello to all, i have a 72 Monte Carlo i just rebuilt the front end and added Hotchkis springs and swaybars, my problem is i have everything but the front sway bar in and i got the pass. side bushing in and somewhat tight the drivers side i have stripped and already taped it out and now im ready to finish the driver side but still only one of the bolt holes will line up the bend in the bar itself seems to make the second bolt hole shift to the right can anyone give me a tip on this.

Thanks Jeff

Hi Jeff, your gona have to finagle a bit if you frame is not bent.

but here are some tips:
install all hardware loose
leave end links out till mounts are tight
start one side, thread bolt just a turn
you may have to use a pry bar
once all bolts are started and bushings are centered start tightening, go evenly and criss cross the tightening sequence. See if that works.
