On my 69 Riv (not GS), mine measures 2 5/8" from washer to washer. The upper part of the endlink rubs on the frame (around the coil springs). I thinks they have done this for a while but got worse after I replaced the sway bar bushings which of course are tighter and keep the swaybar about 1/2 inch away from the mounting frame. Anyone got this problem, thx
