These
were manufactured for Nissan. Thicker front bar
designed to use stock mounts. These can be tough to
wrestle into place depending on the individual car and
the individual bar. I even had a shop once tell me it
was necessary to have the tips bent slightly to fit. I
haven't run into this myself on a car. The smaller
standard bar isn't as resistant to installation as
there is more flex. Swaybars are designed to be
installed with some preload though, which can make
mounting them lots of fun! (You want the spring
tension to be there immediately during use) Some of
the problems may just be due to trying to put the bar
on with the wheels hanging, it is far easier with the
wheels in their normal position i.e. with weight on
them.
Typically
we put the tips in first and force the forward hangars
into place. We've also had a bar not fit on one car
without some cussing and wrestling and fit without
fuss on another car. Since the front frame towers were
put on the frame with some sort of alignment jig
(hopefully anyway) this doesn't make sense. I wouldn't
start bending anything until someone who is familiar
with this type of set up looks at it. We usually leave
the attaching points loose until the bar is in place
and all four are attached.
