Strange 12 Bolt and stock sway bar alignment issues

Just curious if anyone with a newer Strange 12 bolt with the welded on sway bar tabs has had alignment issues with the stock sway bar. When I mount the front eyelets on the sway bar with the new bushings, the bushings that bolt to the rear end are about an inch off. I will try and get a pic if that would help.

Thanks for any info.

I should have stuck this in drivetrain. Here is a pic. The arrow is pointing at the bolt holes I cannot line up.

I remember having that issue with the Moser, think I had to have the car on the ground or jack the rear. It would not line up with the suspension hanging.

Scary thing is that I was using a jack on the rear end to support that back of the car. Its worse when the rear is not supported.

The poly links aren't helping, those suckers are stiff. Loosen the links to free the rearward motion of the bar. Once the bar is bolted to the axle tighten the links.
