New sway bar end links don't have enough room to fit in.
 

I'm sure I have the right ones, I have the front end up completely, no load on the suspension The back side of the top bolt on the link is hitting my strut and not allowing it to go in the hole of the sway bar.

I'm also turning the wheel trying to get clearance but no luck.

Any ideas?

Maybe flip the end links 180* and try to install that way? It's been so long I've messed with mine I can't remember if they are direction specific in regards to installation.

Afaik suspension needs to be under load evenly on both sides with the weight of the car for those to come out easy.

I encountered a similar problem, but was able to get mine to fit by jacking up the knuckle a bit on the side I was working on to line things up better.
