Installed:
- SLP polyurethane bushings to replace links in rear sway bar. OE rubber bushings are like pudding and these not only look great but offer a performance gain.
-Install was simple and can be done fairly quickly with only a few tools needed. removing OE requires removing one bolt from the link, pull off link, then punch pin out of the center. This is probably the most difficult step and i followed SLP instructions by putting link bar in vice, using same size socket up against pin, and hammer it out. WD40 helps.
-Reinstall after you put SLP bushings (they come in halves unlike the OE) and the pin in the center. I greased them, you don't have to.
-SLP says to torque bolts to 72ft lbs. ??? This is alot and difficult to do because of work area under the car. I managed 60lbs and called it quits. I kinda doubt that bolt can take it.
Test drive: No problems, no noise. Hard to tell a difference. Great product, easy install. Recommended to anyone.
Note: SLP rear sway end bushings i ordered and will install later. Full performance gain requires you do both IMO. No sense doing part of the sway bar.
I'll have pics. Don't have my camera presently.
Any questions on install, etc. PM me
