Ok, I REALLY tried to find it, but couldn't

where's the install for the hellwig sway bar on the rear of an 05 Ex 4x4?

Got the Energy suspension bushings and wanted your thoughts on whether I should use the or the ones that came with the Hellwig ...

Any tricks I need to know on the install ?

I'm usually too lazy and busy to do this stuff, but I may try it

Thanks in advance !

Pictorial tutorial.

I repsonded to your post at FTE, too.

Energy Suspension bushings can squeak more than regular bushings. You got 'em, might as well use 'em.

Don't want no squekin though..

Any idea what % of them squeak ? 100% or is it just those not greased before putting them on ?

Oh crap...you're making me use my brain...

I [b]think[/b] Energy Suspension bushings are poly bushings which are prone to squeak more than the regular rubber bushings. This is just what I've heard. I know the ES ones should last longer & are firmer for beter control. That's pretty much why they make 'em.

Some white lithium grease I believe what we've used on poly bushings in the past.
