I know this has ben covered on these forums.. but i can not find the link to it....

anyway when my buddy installed my DuraTracs :lol: .... he also decided that i needed some new sway bar bushings on the front... they were really loose and he did it at no charge. i guess my sway bar could move freely within the bishin itself.

anyway... after picking up my jeep from the shop.. new tires and all... i notice a rubbin sound that i did not here before. i pulled over and nothing was loose.

is it normal for new bushings to have to "break in"? or should i grease them or soemthing? i thought i read on here that someone did that.

thanks for the help everyone.


Josh

Spray some silicone lubricant in there and it should go away... pretty normal.
