If there is any lateral sway at this point, I assume it’s all in the tires. The bushings and end links are quite a bit stiffer than the stock rubber ones. My front sway bar was shiny under the original bushings indicating movement. The new ones seem to bite down a lot harder. No greasing required, except for the rear end link zerk fittings. Everything was well under 100 bucks. The true test will be the next couple of weeks when I load the roof rack down for a trip through twisty mountain passes. No harshness factor at all. Still a smooth and pleasant ride. No squeaks.(yet)

I've ate through 2 sets of those MOOG swayer end-links. Need something better.

How much are you tightening them? The rubber should just bulge a little bit, you can’t tighten them too much or they’ll wear out fast.

Rocket man, I know exactly what you’re talking about having made this mistake myself multiple times. The instructions say to only leave three or four threads exposed out the bottom of the barrel nut. Sort of a fail safe. At this point they are just starting to mushroom
