Default Sway bar length??

Ok something doesn't seem to line up.

I took a sway bar and the spring cups off of a 92 f150

I grabbed the sway bar brackets after the fact off of a 91. My skid plate has the holes the same as the 91 that I took brackets from.
I bought new links. Among other things I did today I am (was) trying to finish install of sway bar. The bar seems like it is short and when trying bolt bar to link it seems to really be twisting the link.

Could the link mount of the 92 spring cup be different from one off of a 91?

Could the bar be shorter from the 92 than on the 91?

If anyone knows, I sure would be appreciative of the info.

With everything bolted up the links themselves seemed really close to springs.

Should the bar to link connection be below the link to spring cup connection?

I should have taken pictures of the one I pulled it from.

Yes! I do think I can be a bit retarded at time. After that lengthy thread, I answered my own questions. It goes together much better when you have the links and all in the right orientation.

Indeed! I know it's old, however with all the sweat and blood I've put into I want it to last forever.
After all of this front end work I am surprised that I still hear things bumping and knocking. Not really sure what it is.

Although I do know I've got a headlamp assembly loose, and broken exhaust bracket. Sounds can be decieving.


Oh well still more work! Got to love it, even with all the body aching that follows.
