Sway-A-Way

Good to hear good thing about Sway-A-Way. I hope mine will work just like that at the end.

I just recently purchased a set through AC, and attempted to installed last Saturday (4/20). Everything went soomthly until when we tried to install passenger side rear t-bar. It wouldn't fit. Just out of curiousity, we switched front and rear, right and left... Only passenger side rear does not fit. It appears that the diameter of the end is slightly too large to fit. Gave up installing the new t-bars, and installing back the stock ones.

On Monday (4/22) I talked to Mike (AC)...I also talked to Tech Support of Sway-A-Way. Both of them have never heard that the diameter of the t-bar being too large to fit. Only solution that came up was for me to send the defective t-bar to Sway-A-Way at my expense, have them examine it, and they'll eventually send me a new one. Meantime, my Xterra just sits at home with out of alignment (Calmini Upper Control Arms and Idler Arm Brace, Warn XD9000i winch were also installed on Sat.). It looks like basically I have two options: 1) leave my Xterra sit at home until I get to send back the t-bar, they examine it, and they send me new one, which would likely to be another week from now or more. 2) live with the stock t-bars for a while until they really starting to sag, then replace with new t-bars.

...Does anyone know if I need to have another alignment if stock t-bars are replaced with Sway-A-Way t-bars in about a couple of months from now? I am thinking about getting alignment done with stock t-bars for now, and later on install the new ones, but keep (or try to keep) the exactly the same front measurement with stock ones and new ones.

Please advise if you could help me in any way...

Thanks,
