So let me ask you guys (err... Rusty lol), how much lube do the bushings actually need? It's used so they're already greased up to some extent. Are there any potential issues other than noise if there isn't sufficient grease? I don't want to damage them if I decide to just ignore it.
Before you install the Hotchkis sway bar. Wrap the area where the bushings go with Teflon tape and smear with grease before putting the bushings in place. Once installed. Pump with grease.

My car was registered last week and I had 10 days to get an inspection. I went to get an inspection today but apparently my temporary registration wasn't enough, they need the actual registration. Problem is, the printer was broken when I went to get it registered and they said I would get my registration through mail by PennDot (still hasn't arrived).

I am going out of town this weekend so I am worried because I will passing through a lot of tolls with cops. What are the chances you think I will be pulled over, and do you think the cops will understand my situation and not ticket me?

I mean yeah, I'm not going to speed or anything. Apparently cops wait out near toll booths and look on windshields for missing/expired inspection stickers

Hmm really? I had no trouble. My agent even found a $10k aftermarket parts rider for me. :tup:

Spoiler would likely suggest rubbing bacon grease over that part of the windshield as an obscurant :rofl2:

I drove the Z w/o registration for over 2 years. Got pulled over a few times for it. Only got warnings.

Worst case would be they give me a ticket. Then I have 30 days to get it done. Once done, just have to mail in proof and $15 dismissal fee to the court.

Meh... too much work for too little payoff. Brackets are already in place. I saw your post in the squealing thread - it's open in another tab.

Just need to grab some Redline chassis lube for the grease gun now.

Used to used Reese cup, Mellow cup wrappers and colored paper cut to size taped to the inside of the windshield. Long as the color matched for the year and month of inspection. Troopers look for the color first because it's easy to see from a distance, then look for numbers.

So we can now add tornados going through the freaking city...

That’s what I did. I also grease the fittings every time I have the undertray off. At minimum you should every oil change. Ungreased sway bar is #1 reason for broken end links.

My Fit registration ran out last Nov. Haven't been driving it much except a few loads to the nearby storage unit. But I take old City of Austin parking stickers (prints out at the kiosk and then you stick it to the inside of the windshield on the curb side) and stick it on the driver side just to have something there since I never put on the original registration sticker from when I bought the car. It doesn't look that close, but something there is better than nothing. And it doesn't look like deliberate deception when they do say something ;)

That's the kind of info I was looking for :tiphat:

Although I'm guessing the SPL end links may hold up a bit better than stock...

For sure. It’s the rear links that end up breaking. If you break a front one, that’s talent.

Nope. I've got something nasty going on at my ankle. Doc saw it yesterday but didn't think it was anything to be worried about.
