    SUSP: Greasable sway bar bushing install

    Picked these up to get rid of an annoying squeak. Seemed to do the trick.


    $22.95/pair locally, ordered through the Keystone program at Canadian Tire.
    Installation is self explanatory. I specifically used the suffix G part number, for "graphite impregnated".

    Note the grease grooves on the inner surface.....


    My attempt of making my own...


    The real deal!


    Fronts installed....


    ...and rears.

        Compared to home-made one. Actually did you notice any difference since changing to aftermarket ones.

            No squeaks, possibly increased compliance.

            Yes, it's a zerk fitting for a grease gun.

                      I should pick that up, my front squeaks like an old bed, but I think its also hitting the chassis at somepoint

                          The bar is advertised as 13/16".
