The reason, The factory bushings are rubber that bind when moved from there settled position meaning that even unattached they will want to return to the position they were tightened. So as a result they tend to act as additional spring rate (ever so slightly) and will reduce weight transfer onto the rear axle. If you have aftermarket poly bushings with lube they will move freely no bind = no problem. -Ron |

Do you think it would be worth it to just purchase a rear sway bar?

I will say that it would be worth going to an aftermarket bushing even on the stock bar as it would eliminate any binding associated with the factory rubber body mount bushings. -Ron Last edited by Fishey; 05-19-2013 at 08:14 AM. |
