FINALLY!!! Got both front and rear OEM turbo swaybars installed. The rear bolted right up with no hassles. The front went on OK. Since I have the aluminum front control arms, the connector rod (??) has 4 bushings (2 up, 2 on lower end). I used polyurethane ones. THE PROBLEMA>>> on the driver's side the lower 2bushings would not align exactly correct. They are squished a little too much(42mm is the correct squish factor) and off the hole slightly. Is this a problem??
I am planning to replace the entire connector rod with one from Energy Suspension, which is just a grade 5 3/8" bolt with a sleeve and the 4 bushings. Any body have experience with this manufacturer?
GIA,
