I reset the end links to OE length and installed the R side at full droop. Set the L side to OE length but left it unattached at to the bar. Reset wheels and dropped the car, drove it around the block and came back and put it up on ramps so that the suspension was loaded.
The L link at the SHORTEST was too long to reach the bar about a 1/2". I was trying to get it "neutral" on the L side. I had to jack the car, on the ramps, about an inch to be able to get the link bolted up.

I revisited my washer shims and found only one was necessary to free up the bar and it would now rotate in the bushings with little effort.

Still not prefectly quiet on that R side bushing, I may have to get back in and grease it again. Trying some WD-40 to verify.

Keeping this going so others can try and learn from my mistakes.
