Default TereFlex Quick Disconnects - questions from newb

All, first post here, new jk owner - have 2008 JK Rubicon Unlimited. Putting on new TF swaybar quick disconnects. Two questions, the bolt on the upper portion of the link will not go through the sway bar hole - anyone else had this problem - both sides. Don't know if i should bore it out or take them back. Second, the old link had a bolt on the inside that butted against the inside of the sway bar hole. The new one does not have that - do I need to get one and put it on - shop where purchased said no, but just doesn't seem right. Any way, thanks - putting on a new bumper, shocks, and steering stabilizer so sure I will be back -

You have to drill the whole out on Rubicons for the new links. There are several threads about it on here if you search.

Got these on - didn't have to drill - worked into the whole a bit, needed a little help with a rubber mallet, but the got the nut to catch and with a ratchet, pulled it right through. I used the pins instead of stock, if you are going to do the same, I would recommend putting the link on the pin first, then attaching the top of the link, then the bottom - will make your life much easier.

I'll keep that in mind. Thanks.
