When I was younger, we always didn't have all the tools like these days and made do with what we had. Some of the things we done back then amazed us.
The end links having dual pivits should help with what your describing also.

The only issue I have with warming the bar up to bend it is that I don't want to anneal it too much. Theoretically it's 4130 Chromoly (based on research I did when doing my prototype disconnecting sway bar), which is a hardened steel; if I heat it up enough to make it more pliable to bend, I might be annealing it too much and ruining the bar unless I have it re-treated. The bar is also hollow, so I have to make sure I don't collapse it; though I doubt I would since it's something like 1/4" ~1/2" thick walled tubing.
