I replaced stock front sway bar and end link bushings bushings with urethane. How tightly should I make the sway bar bracket bolts and the nut on the end link? The urethane bushings are much thicker than the old, worn ones that the brackets do not want to meet "metal to metal".
Thanks.

They shouldnt meet. Thats WAY too tight. There should be full contact with the bushing, but thats all.

Where did you get the bushings from? I've seen lots of guys on here have them, might be a nice easy upgrade.
Thanks

I know that they are supposed to help handling, but what I was wondering was how? Also how noticable is it? If it is worthwhile and a decent price I might go for it, how long or difficult is it to swap them out?
