    I was also thinking about making some spacers, like this...

    Imagine it's just think sidewalled tubing. Looks so close you might be able to use washers.

    The endlink is not going to push the bar away, you'll just push the endlink to more of an angle. Spacers would be part of the fix if you threw the bar in a bender to spread it a little away from the flange.

    See how short the endlinks are on the Saner

    finally started feeling better today so I dropped the subframe back out (so I can hammer the floor) and took the links off. Should I cut them to the line or leave them a little longer?

    I haven't worked on mine lately, I'd cut it as short as possible, the line looked way to convenient to me, so that's where I'd start if I was cutting it, lol. Depending on what tools you have at your disposal, but I'd first cut it a little long of the line, and work from there.

    hmm, well I cut about half way between the end and the line and then leveled it off. It fits and it clears, it's still really close but I think once I get it aligned it will be more even on each side. I didn't hammer the floor back enough so I need to get something that I can hammer around the sway bar into the floor with to make more clearance.

    ok, pics..

    passenger side link


    drivers side


    this one looks like it doesn't clear, I couldn't get the camera higher because the shock is in the way. the link is low enough that it does clear, I'm hoping the alignment will even this out with the other side.

    Wide shots





    EDIT: big thanks to you ABM
