EZ front suspension improvement suggestion 200 1988

Had a little time on my hands. The brick is running well but I have been disappointed in the feel of the front end since rebuilding using OE rubber bushings two summers ago. I ordered poly bushings for the stock sway bar and endlinks. BIG improvement in firmness and overall feel of the front end. For some reason, even though I didn't think sway bars would soak up vibration, it seems to have helped. For about $28 in parts [from IPD] it has improved the feel. Note that even though IPD lists it as a swaybar 'kit', endlink bushing must be ordered separately. Job is simple and took about 1.5 hr. much of which was spent jacking and supporting the car, R&R front wheels.
