Sway bar bolt and bushing series I

Post by LandShark »

Im replacing my bushings and bolts (which were bent). Im currently pre squishing the bushing in a rig so that I can actually have enough thread showing to put the nuts on. Anyone have comments?

I don't remember having to do that at all but if needed just put a jack under it and put a little pressure on it 'til you get the nut started

Thanks Bert. I did jack it up and then squeezed the rubbers in a vise. All done.
