Energy Suspension Poly swaybar bushings INSTALLED - no 56K

I spent this morning installing my Energy suspension greasable polyurethane swaybar bushings on my white Z34. It really makes handling more responsive, even with the car already having FE3, new Senstrac struts and ST springs.

 

Here's some pics of the install.

It was easy to do. I spent more time getting all set up with the car on the jackstands and getting all the tools out, than I did to install them.

yeah, its easy. did you turn the wheel towards the inner bushing? thats what i found to be the easiest cause the tie rod end isnt in the way. the only pia was the outer bolt on the outer one cuz pretty much only a wrench will fit.

Yeah, I turned the wheels towards the side I was working on when I was replacing the inners. That way the tie rod wasn't in the way and I could get my socket in there. I used my ratchet wrench to loosen the outer bolt on the outer ones.

Theyre greaseable right?Best stuff to use is Marine Grease in the grease gun.Super sticky stuff,waterproof and helps prevent annoying squeaks.

Very hard to wash off!It stays in place for a very long time.

 

When I used Urethane bushings on my other cars,I bought a tube of marine grease from the auto store.I didnt install it in the grease gun.Just put on latex gloves,popped the cap off and smeared the grease on everything.Never had a sqeak or groan or pop noise from them ever.

 

The white grease they give you in the kit is OK,but they never give you quite enough.Just wanted to share this.

 

Nice job btw,Hope you enjoy the fruits of your labor.

 

:D
