Help needed from RD Sport or Racing Dynamics sway bar owner



I got my suspension parts through Turner Motorsport, so I could wait =
until
Monday morning & ask them, but I'm impatient & would like to not have to =
get a
ride to work on Monday.  I have a set of RD Sport sway bars that I'm =
having
trouble getting the rear bar to fit properly. It was one of the first RD =
Sport
bars Turner sold, so I'm hoping there isn't something wrong where it's =
not the
right bar or something. You'd think given they've been making the bars =
for a

mess
anything up, but who knows? Anyone out there that'd be willing to take a =

how
it'll fit without rubbing - I even tried swapping it end for end just to =
be sure
it doesn't fit the other way. Unless something magic happens once it's =
bearing
weight, it's just not happening. I pride myself on being a pretty =
competent
mechanic (I've done all the work by myself - at home, no air tools, F&R
Bilsteins & H&R springs, RD sway - in one day total - done right), the =

that this can stymie me is a affront to my ability. Not that it seems to =

in making it fit, which of the two holes in the bar end did you use for =
the
adjustable links? About how long did you have the links adjusted to? =
Anyone who
has a digital camera who could take a snapshot of their setup & send it =
to me?
(Preferably the driver's side - the exhaust - axle area on that side =
seems to be
the tightest). I guess since I'm asking, anyone have torque specs for the
endlink - swaybar bolt? Since it doesn't exist in the OEM setup and the =
bars
don't come with a torque spec for it, I'm guessing based on the bolt =
size, but I
don't like doing that.
