Ok. I'll go through this in more detail. The end links for the front sway bar are not hanging straight down but are angled toward the rear of the MH to connect to the outside holes of the sway bar. In that position they cannot connect to the sway bar inside holes because they are not long enough. The ends of the front sway bar are angled up to enable the end links to connect to the outside holes of the sway bar. If the sway bar and the end links are allowed to swing freely the ends of each would swing in an arc. At some point in the arc the ends of the end link and the sway bar would be at their closest point. At either side of that closest point the ends would move further away from each other. If I remove the end link from the sway bar and swing the sway bar up I am moving the inside hole further up the arc and away from the end link. If I push the end link back towards the sway bar it is also moving further up the arc to its' closest point to the sway bar. Unfortunately the sway bar has moved beyond its' closest point to the end link and is now moving away from the end link. There is no point in the arc of either the end link or the sway bar at which the inside holes of the sway bar will be able to connect to the end link. It really doesn't matter how many other people have been able to do this on their chassis because on mine it is physically impossible to do it, for the reasons stated above. Sorry guys.
