Hi critical,

I'm stock, and thanks, I didn't even know such a thing existed. For years I've been using silicone spray! never did much good for very long.
Appreciate the tip!

I don't think the stock sway bar bushings need to be greased. They shouldn't be making noise as far as I know.

My stock bushings began to squeak and pop actually. I used plumber's silicone grease and problem solved.

On Topic: I emptied my catch can today at 1,500 miles. I got about a tablespoon of dark amber deliciousness

I agree.....if its popping that means its time for them to be replaced.

Front bumper is damaged but I believe the crash bar is intact. Steering wheel air bag did deploy. Luckily it was slow speed (roughly 25mph) and I didn't hit a tree or anything. Just went into tall brush. I'm pretty sure salvageable but he passenger rear quarter panel has me worried. Undercarriage is good.

didn't want to repeat my mistake so went ahead to salvage the rest of my Z's clean front end. :p i have like 3 chips on there already, but oh well. at least i wont have those tiny chips now. :D

Did you get this done professionally Ken or use that new 3m stuff?

That actually happened to my '95 Eclipse... sort of. It was actually the lower control arm ball joint that failed, but the results were exactly the same.
Are you under warranty?
