Default adjusting hotchkis sways

I've only done the rear so far, but i can only fully thread the nut on the lowest setting. Right now the rear sway is in the middle hole, but its not threaded all the way. I want to put it on the highest setting but i cant get the nut on the bolt. Are you guys having the same problems?

No. You can move the bolt. Not only does the arm move, but the bolt itself pivots. Try moving it around and you will be able to get it in.
And if you are having this kind of trouble with the rear, you may want to have someone else do the front for you.

all it takes is a little elbow grease to push the endlinks into the holes. once u have about 1/2~1cm of the endlink in, start turning the nut in and if its not cross threading just use the ratchet and power it in there.

yes all the way, till it stops turning. as it got tighter, i slowly torqued it so not to snap the bolt or nut.

Yes, make sure that nut is on nice and tight all the way. You don't want to lose it, because you can't just buy that nut at a hardware store of Lowes. You would prob have to order it from a Toyota dealership.
