If my hunch is correct, that's the same bar that I got from Addco about 15+ years ago. I could not find a way to get it to fit properly, it had all the issues you guys mentioned.
Have you had your car on the ground yet? When I attempted mine, the endlinks were nowhere close to fitting vertically into the brackets.
My bar became a fixture I used to hang things from for spray painting. (and after you try FIrmFeel stuff, you'll never go back)
The bar attachment point at the frame rail using that skinny "u-bolt" through the frame is a POS. I have seen those where they have torn right through the rail during hard cornering. An attachment base using a "U" bracket saddling the rail is so much better. Like the factory setup or FirmFeel setup. The factory original type setup is even superior to FF. The PST bar is an Addco bar. I first was exposed to the Addco attachment method in 1971. After looking at the bar out of the package, I took it right back to the store for a refund. It was a POS then and still is now. The Addco bars can often be made to work ok. Just not with their attachment design(s).

Yes my car is on the ground and everything seems fine. I found out that you should install the bar between fuel tank and rear shocks but that's just not possible in my Fury. The bar was simply too short and would hit those shocks. It's obvious these rear bars are universal and not designed for c-body.

the firm feel sway bar setup uses the frame hung design used on aar cudas and t/a challengers . an e body sway bar will fit a c body ,or at least my 66 ,the rearend perches are within a 1/2".the frame mounts are hard to come by so i made my own.i think i used 3" square tubing that fit over the rails.i also had to fab my own end link mounts that are similar in design to the op"s original pics.i picked up a sway bar on ebay for cheap.i needed the bent style sway bar instead of the straight style to avoid fitment issues and it needed to be in front of the rear housing.endlinks are off the shelf auto store parts.took some thought and time but cost me under $200 total and i would rather build than buy.

Those are the stock 7-leaf springs that come with the TnT package. I refer to the coils as "enhanced bump stops." They do make it ride and handle much better with a full load of passengers or heavy stuff in the trunk.
