sway bar end links

mean81GT · 03-11-2002, 11:00 AM

this question is actually about my camaro, but it should be the same as with a mustang. My front sway bar end links snapped, and i replaced them with oem stockers from autozone. my question is should i have greased the bolt and bushings, or installed everything dry?

I snapped them on my 90 at one time. I put the poly ones on but didnt grease mine. I've never heard of anyone doing it. Not real sure if it would help or not. Might make the rubber last longer before it deterirates again.

I got the Energy Suspension ones for my Mustang. I snapped the stock one when on a roadcourse. So I went with the much more HD ones. Put them on with a dab of waterproof (boat) grease.
