So it's probably relying on the friction between the clamping force of the arm against the sway bar. Bloody thick sway bar for the rear. Do you need to machine it to fit or does it come plug and play?

So below is the kit I got, you can see the sway bar has one end inserted into the tube, you basically work out the length you need and then cut the tube to suit, I am guessing this is because some people put the chassis rails out further or right in close for a really big wheel etc.

then you have the two smaller pieces of tube below that, the long one is used for the track locator bar, this would also change length depending how far apart your chassis rails are, then the rest is used for making the links between the diff and the anti-roll bar.

I got stuck into a bit of wheel tub action today, slow fiddly job cutting out the old bits of the inner guards and shaping the tub to suit but its worth the effort, and I have the left over bits from this side to use as templates for the other side so that's a bonus!
