Post subject:  Front Sway Bar Bushings...
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.

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

thanks for the reply.... i bought some silicone spray... from Gunk... that should work right?

also how do i do it.. i mean what is the prefered way? all i did was just spray it on the bushing.. in the seam where there is a lil bit of an opening... was that right? or am i missing something?


thanks again
