I went ahead and installed it with the old OEM end
link bushings and the PST Eurethane "D"shaped
bushings. I made a 2 hour job into a half day job
again and Im still not sure if I did it right. PST
instructions have no illustrations to go by and I
could not find any end link bushings at Napa and a
bunch of other auto parts stores. Heres the pic:

Check out the strange gap thats a little less than
1/4"
Its between the jam nut and the end link bushing.
Overall I really like this sway bar...even though i
had to drill out 3/4" inch holes into the swaybar's
ends in order to allow the supplied 3/4" bolts to fit
the bar's holes!(a factory defect that could not be
replaced for a month since PST is out of stock of the
Vanagon bars)

If you did this install allready please tell me if
mine looks OK.


Thanks

Phil
