Installed front and rear sway bar bushing.......

and WOW what a difference. I followed the write up in the tech section on how to do the front bushings. It is very easy to do just follow the steps and make sure that you get the correct hardware. One thing about the front endlink bushings, you can use energy suspension part number 9.8105. I picked these up from Pep Boys for 9.99 for a package of 8. The I.D. is a little small but you can slide them on with some grease or silicone spray. If you chose to use these end link bushings you will need to reuse the stock washers on the end links, unless you chose to drill them out.

For the rear end links the part number above works fine and you can use the supplied washers from energy suspension. For the sway bar bushings you will need part number 9.5156 (19mm). These I found at a local parts shop for 14.99. The rear you will also need new hardware, pick up:
four 8x1.25x20 grade 8.8 and four lock washers for bushing brackets. I found it easiest to leave the end links apart so that I can move the sway bar around. It takes some patience to get the bolts started. Once started tighten everything up and then tighten the end links up.

This made a huge improvement on the truck and is worth the little bit of money.

I will take some pictures next week and update this thread.

Hope this helps.

I have only had them on for a day and have not driven on them more than 5 miles. I need to buy more grease for my grease gun so they were installed dry. So far I have not heard any squeaking.

I had the black on my accord and they did not squeak, so I'm sure these will perform the same.
