I agree -- the whiteline front adjustable sway bar can be a pain to install on a ball joint. I did it like Sandeep at first, but found out that the shock brackets were upside down (bracket should be "L" vs upside down L). It works upside down as shown in Sandeeps tech article, but ground clearance is reduced. To get it right side up, the bracket needs to be clearanced to prevent rubbing on the shock which can loosen the shock nut.
Another problem I had was that my bar rotated on the beam with a hard corner, causing some fender lip rubbing. John at aircooled.net said he had seen the U bolts welded to the beam to prevent this. I took the suggestion and it's rock solid now.
No issues with the new slotted urethane bushings from Whiteline, but I don't have a lot of miles on it yet either.
Instructions on how I did my install are
