Default Saner swaybar out, stocker back in...?

I pulled my Saner front swaybar, and I was going to swap the stock swaybar back in. It was later afternoon, and I have poor lighting options, but I figured, meh, 2 hours should be plenty of time. So I yanked the Saner out in 30 minutes, no problems. But putting the stock bar back in gave me fits though. Nothing was lining up. I'd jack up a LCA and still couldn't get everything in place. Then, as it was getting dark and the 'skeeters were draining the blood from my body, I thought, "do I have this on upside-down?". The Saner bar goes over the tie rod (steering rod), but does the stock swaybar go under the tie rod? I can't remember from when I pulled it out a year ago. It doesn't look like the brake line will work at all if the stock bar comes over the tie rod. Needless to say, I ran out of daylight and didn't have the time to flip the stock bar around and see if that's correct. Any advice? Pictures are helpfull too as I can't remember how the stock end links are supposed to be oriented. Thanks a ton!

No one has a shop manual within reach and 3 minutes to spare? I'll probably be under the car tomorrow. Any advanced info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks,

Maybe you attached the endlinks to the wrong side of the control arm.

I don't remember doing anything special with the endlinks or alignment when I put my stock bar back on -- I just put it on the same way the Saner went on and it fit fine. Make sure you aren't trying to put the bar or endlinks on upside down or anything.

Maybe. I don't recall which side of the LCA they went on originally... I did get one side connected the other night, but the brake line would have had to run straight through the swaybar. I'm thoughouly confused.

Did you take off the brake line relocation adapters?

Yes, I removed my homemade brake adapters. I haven't had a chance to work on it because I was out of town this past weekend. Maybe tomorrow I'll have it up in the air again...
