Yes.
This rec makes complete sense to me for factory style rubber bushings where the sleeve is bonded to the flexible material. In a JohnnyJoint style bushing, the position for bolt torquing shouldn't matter because there should be no bind introduced. If thats wrong, why?
Note, I'm talking about the bolts at the link ends, not the jam nuts setting length on adjustable arms.
Thanks that's what I was talking about, now fighting getting axle centered up front, any tips/tricks. It Wants to stay toward drivers side
Once the track bar has been disconnected stand on the bumper and "jounce" the springs and suspension by jumping up & down. That will usually cause it to self-center to very close to dead center. If it's not perfect enough for you use a ratchet strap connected between the frame and axle to tug it so it's perfect. Then adjust the length of the track bar so its mounting bolt hole lines up and insert the bolt.Thanks that's what I was talking about, now fighting getting axle centered up front, any tips/tricks.

I measure with the rig on the ground and then disconnect the track bar and adjust the length as nec. To get it lined up for the bolt, I use a ratchet strap from the axle to frame (I do that part on a lift because I can but others do it on the ground). I don't tighten the jam nut until I'm happy the axle is centered on the ground.

Just put it to full drop and ratcheted the axle over all I could, just put the tires back on and sitting on them. Looks pretty damn close. Going to do some measuring

Is your tie rod bent or is that an optical illusion in your second photo?
