Left to right, up to down - you probably installed it backward, or wrong side up. Pretty common mistake...

I am surprised that catmann can't put a sticker on the bar something like this

left wheel <<<-------->>> right wheel.

If you switch it over it will read wrong

Not really hard, just wrench tight.

Then they might have to explain which left.

They should put a little band at one end.

If you have installed RSB incorrectly, would the end of the bar be too high or too low?

The difference is very little. If you don't have the car on a lift, it's even more difficult to catch.

Not sure if your using my endlinks or not, but if so tighten them all the way till they don't tighten anymore. Don't even look at the OEM tq specs

What kind of noise? Did you put grease on the bushing?

Did you put grease on inside the rubber bushing before you install the bar? If you didn't, it will squeek like crazy. I'll try to get pics.

A bushing (in girl terms here), is a plastic/stiff rubber type of moulding that came with your bar. They (two of them) were black with a hole in the middle of each. You have to take the little tube of grease (clear in color) and rub it with your finger in the center of the 'black plastic thingy', in the hole in the center. Then put in on the bar.

You should write a "How To (in girl terms)" book.
