I installed my Suspension Techniques front and rear swaybars today. I haven't driven much yet but I can tell the change is pronounced for cornering.

I do have another question though for others who have installed them. I get a hard rubbing sound from the sway bars when I hit bumps. Anyone else have this issue? Did it go away once they were broken in a bit? I am wondering whether they need to be lubed or adjusted in some way.

Was it difficult to install them? how much time did it take to you?also, have you kept your old end links or you broke them pulling the stock bars out?
Thanks wink.gif

I had help. The front was pretty much a quick replacement. The rear was not as easy. I did use the old end links and they are in good condition.

i know your trying to do the right thing for your motor, but this is one of those times where you should just trust the guys who have had their swaps for a while and have done a ton of research into this.

Yea. We used the lubricant that came with the sway bars. I am not sure what it is called. It may be lithium. The creaking has greatly diminished in a week but I still get some creaking in the rear when I hit a sizeable bump. I think they are just breaking in.
