help: pics needed of rear sway/endlinks

i need some help. i tried installing my progress rear sway in yesterday, and it took a long time. i just looked at it today, and my left endlink is rubbing on some plastic piece on the underside. it's causing the dust boot to move off the endlink. i also don't know if i installed the bar upside down or not so if anyone has pics of the stock sway setup with endlinks and anyone else with the progress installed, please send them to me

also, the endlinks bolts are not centered, they are both in a very extreme position (according to the helm's they should be installed in the center or near center of rotation)

thanks

Sounds like you got it installed upside down. Nothing should be forced or not aligned correctly. Is there a marking on the Progress bar which indicates which side is up/down?

I'm just laughing at the thought of you crawling under some stranger's car to take a look at their end links. Got the job done so that's all that matters!
