SLS question 124 wagon

My SLS level controller works fine when I un-hook it from the connecting rod. I raise the lever and the rear of the car goes up. I lower the lever and the rear of the car comes back down. The ride is normal not bouncy or harsh.

My problem occurs when I connect the rod and put weight in the car. It does not raise up. I ordered a new connecting rod and installed it today. I still have the same issue. I think the bracket that holds the upper rod to the torsion bar has slipped down (see pictures). Does anyone have a picture of the proper placement of that upper bracket?

I've read and reread Section 32-0501 of the FSM and everything seems to be working as designed. Anyone have any other ideas?

I think you are correct. There is a flat spot on the anti-sway bar that one leg of the "U" bolt rests against. It appears from your picture that this is currently not the case. Mark

Thanks for the confirmation. I guess I need to try and get something on those nuts and then spin it back up. I can't find a picture of a properly installed one and the FSM is no help. I guess I need to start crawling under 124 wagons.
