I replaced all the bushings on the antisway bar and wonder how tight the nut should be on the two end bolts with the four bushings each . I used rubber bushings so they started to compress. Any rule of thumb on how much to compress these little buggers? I just stopped at about the same place as it was before.

    It doesn't really matter too much... I'd go pretty snug on the front, and less snug on the rear. By snug, you want them to compress a little bit, how much I'm not really not sure. I'd go with poly bushings up front, and keep rubber in the back, for an effectively stronger front balance.
