Has anyone else installed the Addco brand front swaybar? I put it on my 78 and the fitiment stinks.

The endlinks that came with the bar interfered with the lower control arms. By interfered, I mean that the control arms hit the endlinks. So, I had to purchase a new set of stock endlinks and bushings with a larger gap in the middle.

Additionally, where the bar runs perpendicular to the frame rails, there is maybe 1/4" of room. When the bar walks side to side, it hits the frame rails. On other cars, I've put collars on the swaybar up against the bushings where the bar mounts to the frame (to prevent walking). But, since the Addco bar mounts flush against the crossmember, there's no roon to put a collar or even a screwdown clamp to prevent walking.

If anyone's gone through this and has suggestions for improving fit, I'd love to hear from you. Thanks.
