    Default Sway bar bushing replacement

    Bushings I used to replace the OEM rubber bushings…

    <a href="http://www.suspensionconnection.com/cgi-bi...on/14-1123.html" target="_blank">http://www.suspensionconnection.com/cgi-bi...on/14-1123.html</a>

    Tools needed:
    17mm socket
    ½” impact gun
    3/8” impact gun

    OR

    17mm socket and muscles or breaker bar..

    Stock bushing



    17mm for the bottom mount bolt. With A ½" drive impact gun.



    I could not fit the ½" drive up in there so I had to use 3/8" drive for the top bolt.



    Bracket removed



    Stock vs. new





    Grease applied just needs to be spread around the whole bushing..



    Ready to mount..





    On the sway bar and ready for the bracket.



    Torque to 94 Ft Lbs..



    Done!
