Next on the order list is new sway bar bushings. I know this is a simple change. I should have done this a year ago.

Rubber replacements I assume? Let me know when you do that and I'll come help and if Curt's off I'll bring him too.

use poly. They work great on the bars. Last forever and really sharpen the response.

If you use Poly plan to super-grease them and in a few years plan to grease them again. They dry out very quickly and squeak groan very badly. I just have never seen the point of Poly on anything less than a car that sees track time. |

Greasing is just part of the deal. I think some come with nipples to regrease them.
Basically, the poly bar bushings are worth whatever minor inconvience they create. The entire C4 suspension groans... so an additional groan will be masked by the rest of the system. |

Poly is fine
Del-alum for racing. The frame mounts for the bars won't bind up like the rest of the suspension. |

Well I am getting the links cleaned up. Getting the bushings out has been fun.

Yeah, if I had enough room in my garage. It's getting cleaned out soon. These bushings are going to make a difference. The stock rubber ones were shot, and very soft. |

I'm doing my whole car this weekend. Not a bad job at all but a press is just about required, and a lift makes the job easier.
I would have likes to use the GM heavy duty bushings but to get those you need to buy the whole arm so Poly it is. |
