i dont see the metal sleve in the bushing. do you have one? if your not running one that could be part of the problem.

that looks like its a chevy kp link set up. are you sure you have the bars in the right way? i know on the 88-98 kit the 4 link bars go in one way, because the bar ends at the rear end have a slight kick to the outside of the vehicle. maybe they are in a bind?

all four bars are the same size upper and lower i called kp up and they are trying to figure it out also???

allright guys i whent to a local race shop and they told me to mesure it out buy putting a plumb bob on the rear frame tube where the spare tire used to be and tye a knot and then put the knot on the top of the tube so the string over hanges the bar on the frame towards the back and they said to put one on both sides so you can measure both sides from the rearend to the string ....they said to do it like this because this factory tube is sqaure off of the frame ....the way i measured befor this was from the rear end to the back of the frame and it measured out to be the saim ....well i just mesured it out the way they said to do it and i was out 5/16 to almost 3/8 yea i feel like a moron but i hope this does it the knew bushing will be in wed. so ill post back and let ya know but thanks for all your help
