you are giving me hope are these the bolts that 370zforme posted pictures of?

is this the sound too? i think thats pretty similar to what i have going on sound-wise.
Zerk is just a term for grease fitting. If you have the stock sway bars you won't have any. I just use regular lithium grease. That video sounds about right to me too.

370zforme's pics are pretty good. The bolts circled in black were what were loose in my case. Takes two wrenches to tighten them iirc. Check both sides just to be sure.
