Finally succeeded in getting the nut on the anti-sway bar down-link threads.  After fabricating two metal rectangles with half-circles (to accommodate the the down-link and making room for the nut at the bottom) with two threaded rods to turn a couple of nuts to compress the rectangles, thereby compressing the rubber bushings without success...I resorted to a "ratchet strap" and had the nut on in a matter of seconds.

See photo link above.

If you do view the photo I welcome any comments regarding the condition of the other bushings, etc.  Thank you.
