I recently installed my rear driver side HnR lowering spring but I’m having issues with bolting back in the sway bar end link. I’m not sure if it’s just one you gotta muscle and push it down so it lines up or if there’s a trick or if I went wrong in the reassembly process

loosen both ends of the sway bar and get them connected before fully torquing down.

Do you have both front wheels off the ground?
First time I replaced my front sway bar links I only jacked up that side and with the other wheel still on the ground it made installing the link a pain. Think i had to use another jack to adjust the height of the wheel carrier to align the bolts up.
Jacking the entire front end up from the middle jacking point made it much easier with the second one.

I tried that it didn’t work. I fully removed the sway bar and thought let me just like restart the process like I’m doing a “replacement” for it but it still won’t go in. I’m starting to think the bushings are bad or something.
