Brian,
Thanks for the tip.  I'll recheck it tomorrow.  When I did my install, I
first attached the bar to the adapters, and then I hooked up the end link on one
side.  Using the floor jack, I then jacked the control arm up through its
travel, looking for interference.  I didn't notice an issue with the CV boot.  I
did notice that if the link is too long, that as the suspension compresses, the
bar starts to pinch the rear brake line where it attaches to the body.

I then unbolted the end link on the one side, hooked up the other, and
repeated the process.  The only thing I noticed was that the adapter on the
passenger side of the car was placed such that it would not permit the bar to "walk"
to the left over time... as the swaybar bushing is right next to the elbow in
the bar.  On the driver's side, however, the adapter positions the bushing
considerably inboard of the elbow, which could permit the bar to walk to the
right.  Far enough that it would be possible for the bar to interfere with the left
rear spring.  So I plan on checking that from time to time.
Take care,
Dave
