track bar question

I installed X code springs on my 2000 F350 and bought an adjustable track bar to center my axle. Everything went together without a problem until I tried to install the new bar, its too long. The stock bar appears to be to long as well; axle is pushed toward the passenger side. Any ideas what could be going on? On the plus side the new x codes ride alot better than the worn out v codes.

How far off is it?

On my 05' Excursion I had my track bar off to weld a crack in my track bar bracket and couldn't get the track bar back on. It was only a half inch off though. I used a ratchet strap to pull it back over so I could get the bolt through.

It looks like the axle is around a half inch, maybe more towards the passenger side. I got everything bolted up but I couldn't figure out how the factory bar was too long

Mine did the same thing....I fiqured it wasn't wise to force the springs over, something will eventually break.
