Default Steeda 555-1056 Rear Sway Install - Yikes

Anyone planning on doing this swap and retaining the factory links better eat your wheaties for breakfast that morning. The Steeda bar is larger enough in diameter to make this difficult in my opinion. Half the job is sliding the links on to the new Steeda bar. I thought I was going to pass out.
After lots of lube and elbow grease they went on.

Anyway, seems like a good mod otherwise.

I've had trouble putting bearings and bushings on on steel parts.Depending on your application,if you warm the metal it expands,but if you freeze the metal it shrinks.Just enough to slip on a bearing or tight bushing.I've done elevator repair for many years and learned a few tricks along the way.We've had to wrap dry ice on axles to slip bearings on.It sounds time consuming but it sure makes the job go fast.
