Yeah, there's no slop in the bushings when everything's *tightened*, but you shouldn't have to bend the sway bar to get the endlinks to line up during installation. If the car is level and at normal ride height, the endlink bolts should just slide right into the bar... no fuss, no pre-load, etc.
If that's not the case, then your sway bar is adding spring rate to the front suspension when it's just sitting there, and that's no good. Swaybars are only supposed to act when the car rolls.
Pre-loading the bushings allows you to modify the bar-effect delay during turn-in, but that has nothing to do with pre-loading the bar itself.
