Hellwig Swaybar adjustments
How did you guys adjust your sway bar. Should the threaded links be vertical? mine are on an angle, the top mount is forward in comparison the the bottom. Also does the clamp around the axle have to be exactly the same distance from say the wheel? Im am not sure what measurement is used to get the right length of the threaded links? Thanks

Rocket science precision is not required.
Links should be about vertical. You don't really get a choice since existing holes in the frame are used.
Link length should make the bar about horizontal. A little one way or the other won't matter. A lot off and you lose ground clearance as well lateral stiffness.
Bushing location is mostly defined by where they are not in the way of other stuff like wires and brake lines. There really isn't much leeway. Again, get it about the same and be done.
