Normal resting position for sway bar?

Sometimes you can shorten the link to resolve the issue. The bar pivots are fixed, meaning the arms of the bar swing in an arc, this arc might not allow the holes of the arm and bar to line up and allow the link to fit. You'd need to move the bar mounts, modify the bar or move the link mounts on the lower arm to get it right. With that, sometimes the strut rods get in the way. Its a best effort deal, unless you willing to build new mounts placing the bar parallel to the ground and line the links up horizontally but that might have some limitations too.
