Spread some grease on the track bar bushings and using a vice, press in the bushings and sleeves into the track bar ends. As a good starting point on the adjustable track bar using two bolts insert a bolt into one end of the track bar and rotate the adjustable end to align the holes. Rotate the end one more turn and lightly tighten the jam nut. Install the track bar starting at the frame then the axle. You may need to turn the steering wheel to help align the bottom bolt.
