I got the bushings into the drop links but then when I attempted to put them on the sway bar they won't fit.
Any ideas or suggestions? |

You're doing it right. In the drop-links first, onto the bar and ball stud next. It evidently helps to drill a small hole through the back side of the bushing to let the air out, but you'll still probably use a clamp to squeeze the drop-link onto the bar or ball-stud anyway.
I've done it without drilling the hole, but it's a pain. If I tried drilling the holes, I would probably goop a little RTV on to cover the holes once I was done, just to discourage dirt from entering. --DD |

Huge C-Clamp and tiny hole on the backside of the bushing, lots-o-grease and they'll go on fairly easy ...
