Hi all, I'm back. I have the rear anti-sway bar kit spead out on the kitchen table. I just measured the outside to outside of the flat ends of the bar. It is still exactly 47". Since this dimension depends on the bending of the bar, it is critical. So far we have my 47" dimension, Tom's 48" dimension & Hocrest's 47 3/8" dimension. Metalwork manufacturing of this type should have no more than 1/8" variance in tolerances from piece to piece.

Someone should contact Nevin to see if the bar is heat treated after it is bent. If it is, I'm guessing that it is NOT securely held in place during heat treatment, which will cause the bend to "open up" and account for the varying dimensions.

Also, the end links are not regreasable. The sway bar bushings (part of the kit.....NAPA #9.518G) are regreasable.

Further, the centerline of the bolt holes in both end links in my kit measure 5 3/4" & 5 5/8" respectively. The length of each end link is adjustable, so the variance should not mater.

Finally, I printed out Nevin's installation post, which is #283 in the thread
"Who wants an aftermarket sway bar?"

Good Luck guys.
