Have been trying to install these end links in my 2019, but cant seem to tighten them down without the bottow twisting out of control. I'm no mechanic and I dont play one on TV. Is there anything that would obviously cause this that I just overlooked?
 
Use another wrench to prevent them from spinning while tightening
I didnt really see another place to put a wrench, but I did try putting a big screwdriver through the bottom
 
When I tighten A, B (and A for that matter) twist with it.

Maybe I am just unclear how to install it. the video I saw, and the instructions just made it seem like you drop it in and just tighten the bolts to the sway bar and lower arm

Place to put wrench in blue. Could also use a large crescent wrench around the B area

I feel like it’s impossible to, almost like the nut is bottomed out, but I know it’s not, it sits flush with the stud. I ended but just turning it 1/8in and moving it back with a screw driver a few times, I used a torque wrench but idk if it’s actually torqued or not, it may have just clicked with counter pressure… I guess I’ll just keep my eye on them. Are you supposed to leave the middle loose then tighten them at the end or just drop it in and call it good ?
