Next question.........I need to install the drop link cup bushings for the rear sway bar. I haven't a clue as to the correct way to accomplish the task. The sway bar is currently in the car, I just got the cup bushings yesterday. They look to be a nylon material.
Would ya'all be so kind as give me some direction. I'm sure it must be simple but keep in mind..........I ain't that smart. Best, mike |

It has been a long time since I had to install the bushings, but putting them back on the car is easy.
I use great big channel locks. Takes about 3 seconds. The channel locks also serve as my oil filter wrench. |

I just did both sides a couple days ago. Spent way to much time on the first one before I realized I was over thinking it. Second one went quick. If you think of the bushing as a cup go in cup top first and just push them in with a flat screwdriver. They will fold up a bit going in but pop right back in shape once in. Squeeze them on with some big channel locks and your off to the track.

Frees up both hands for the channel locks. |
