I just got my poly bushings and endlinks. I was about to get under and install, but I was hesitant b/c I dont know if you can just rest the car on jack stands, or does the front end's weight have to be loading the the front suspension in order to swap out the sway bar?

You don't have to have the suspension loaded for the sway bars. (Remember - sway = side to side)

Just jack either end; remove the old stuff and replace with new.

I did mine in my buddies driveway with jackstands

Good luck

awesome. thats what i thought, but when i got it raised up, the old rod ends looked REALLY stressed and i didnt want to cause a huge problem for myself.

You'll be alright. Mine looked pretty shot when I took them off as well.

as long as both sides are at the same height there are no forces on the sway bar

I should have time to do it tomorrow. I'll let ya know how the install went and how i enjoy the new cornering. (although you probably already know what i'm gonna say, i'm excited anyway)

sometimes its a pain to get the end links compressed far enough to bolt on. be patient, itll go, trust me.

I just did my rear endlinks. Them polys are far better then the crappy plastic ones. I used a jack and lifted the rear end up and it helped remove the bushings. I would imagine you could do the same thing with the fronts.

I just finished the install yesterday. It was pretty easy except for the LH U-shaped body mount, the bolt on the back side's threads stripped, and now it won't budge. I dont think its going to be a problem though, because its still VERY tight after torquing down the other one in the front.

But yeah, after the new bushings and bar and strut brace, my front end is MUCH more responsive.

Would a bigger rear swa help me that much in cornering? I've got a panhard rod coming in the mail, would that be suffecient or should I cough up an extra 60-70 bucks? I was thinking it'd be acceptable to just re-do the endlinks and mounts in poly.

My buddy has a sphoon rear swaybar and he says it helped a lot. I just bought some poly endlinks for 16.78 from napa and it has defiantly helped.
