Post subject:  Sway bar questions?????
I have a question about the front sway bar. Mine seems to be walking from the drivers side to the passenger side. I have new MOOG sway bar bushings torqued to spec, and new Moog sway bar end links also torqued to spec with all weight on the ground. I was greasing my ball joints after an oil change and noticed the sway bar has shifted about 3/4" towards the passenger side. The bend in the bar is right at the bushing leaving a small gap. Any thoughts? I am totally stumped :shock:

The gap will quickly wear the bushing... from my experience it should be moved then re-torqued, but how it got loose in the first place if it was indeed torque with the vehicle on the ground is a mystery to me!

While MOOG makes great joints they suck at making swaybar bushings.Buy OEM bushings and be done with it.

Yes and don't use any type of lube.Clean the swaybar with hot/soapy water before installing new OEM bushings.Never use any sort of spray lube,only hot and soapy water.
