I know this question has been posted before and I have read many answers regarding this topic, but I have been at this for weeks now and I cannot get my new RM front sway bar to go in. I have attached a link to a video explaining my problem and I just need a set of steps to follow. Other people have only been able to post vague descriptions of what the solution to this is and none of them seem to work.
So far, I have:
-Jacked the up car roughly two feet off the ground.
-Removed both the driver's side and passenger's side gussets.
-Removed the passenger's side rear control arm (which I incorrectly called a compression strut. My bad ...)
I have been laying the sway bar so that it is parallel to the car with the longest part of the bar facing the front of the car (see image 01, sorry it's not a picture of a DSM) and then pushing the end of the sway bar toward the driver's side so that it goes overtop of the subframe, behind the hardlines for the transmission fluid (I would assume?) and then up over the propshaft. However (as the video shows) the sway bar contacts the floor-pan of the car so that I cannot continue to push the bar any further forward or pivot the bar so that it is perpendicular to the car.
Can anyone save me from this madness?
