Front Sway Bar/End Link Bushings Replaced
I recently replaced the front sway bar and end link bushings with polyurethane ones. I opted for greasable bushings for the sway bar itself.
Here's some pics. It may look like the sway bar bushings and brackets are off center; that it not the case, its just the way the flash lit up everything. I already went out to double check.
If I can ever get the bumpstops off, I have replacements for those too.

Sweet any difference in handling? I did this in the rear and noticed today while looking for a rattle my sway bar slides back and forth in the worn out front bushings.

I did the same thing when I installed my suspension, but I can't really say if it helped handling any since I did it all at the same time. But, at least I know I have firmer bushings which should help the sway bars be more efficient.
Nice pics Tom!

Thanks guys. Its hard to notice a significant difference in handling right now, since I'm not one to take corners at significant speeds anyway. Plus, my OME's keep things pretty tight now too. But like Dr. Z said, there's peace of mind at stake too!
