well, for all of you guys that have celi's over 100,000mi or 10yrs old like mine, you may or may not start to notice more body roll and things going on..
i replaced my front & rear sway bar bushings, and MAN what a diffrence!! the old front bushings were quite distorted, and all dry rotted n stuff...and made the most diffrence once installed. the rears helped too,...not as much as the front, tho all 4 bushings were like under 30$ (rears were 6.and change the fronts 7 and change) well worth it. the rears are SUPER easy to do..the fronts are easy too, just a little less room on the drivers side.. -------------------- Former Team 5SFTE pro member ;)

Nice sig manny.... I have a set of ST sway bars sitting in my room right now. I cant wait to instal them. I'm glad you have a better ride from changing the bushings it make me wonder how my ride will improve.
Later, DEF --------------------  I will return one day. |

I haven't replaced the bushings, but I replaced my front sway bar links. Made enough of a difference that it didn't feel like the same car for a couple days.
BTW, when you aimed me I was at work. I leave it on all the time even though I'm not really there. |

How much do the links cost? I may do it all in one fell swoop, links, bushings, and springs installed.
