That's what I've done - everything is loose and the bar swings up/down easily.

If I swing the bar up, the stud hole is not directly below the droplink mount on the upper arm - it's approx. 1.5" too far away to the rear. I'd need to take a pic to describe the problem better than that.

Yes, I know the droplinks are handed. I've tried them both on the LH and only one is anywhere near correct (the other points in the wrong direction). I've also compared them to the old ones on the old bar.

Yes (and no). The drain holes on the upper arms are too close to the edge of the spring cup. The isolators have to be modified so the cutouts line up with the holes. I'll try and find the thread on it.
