Putting a sway bar back in?

[Snowlover]

Sled I bought does not have one. Messed with the suspension and have it closer, but picked up a sway bar and all hardware real cheap, so I will wanted to test it. I have zero pros so I can adjust the shock spring tension.

First issue is the bolt on the a-arm must not be stock length. The threads stick back into the sway bar passage. Previous owner was not much of a mechanic and had replaced a-arms before I bought it.T hey may work if turned around with extra threads facing forward.

Bottom line, can the sway bar be twisted into place after just loosening and moving the bottom a-arms out of the way? Also, I assume you put the end "slide" on the bar, then align the bolt through the mount on the ends?

Just easier to ask questions here on the computer before dragging the sled back home to the garage to work on.'

Thanks

Done. Removed lower a arm bolts on right side. Twisted sway bar a little and got it less than 2 inches from being through. Some big vice grips clamped on tight and a few hits later, it was through. Definately increases the effort to tip the sled up on the garage floor, but seemed to hold the front end up higher and the rear suspension reacted differently.

Snow tests this week. Rather firm NW spring concrete, turning into mashed potatoes, but hey, its almost May.
