Hi Guys,
I'm finally in the home stretch of my front end winter projects. Lots of videos coming soon. Seems the rubber sway bar bushing is sitting proud of the back edge of the mount. The front ridge is just over the front opening, which appears to be as designed. Does the rear just get compressed when everything gets bolted up...or should I be looking for a different, shorter bushing? |

You are correct. . it will compress and form a tight solid fit on the sway bar when the mounting bolts are tightened . Use some rubber lube, dish soap etc and it will easily all slide together in the proper place.
