How about an update? I've heard that poly bushings will start to squeak after a while, but I don't know if the manufacturers have beaten that issue yet or not. Have you had any problems with that? When I do mine, I'll also be doing my control arm bushings. Since those are going to be no easy task, I really don't want to have to go through the whole procedure just to put rubber back in.
Thanks, Gas.

I did this about a month ago...This with RS9000 shocks make it stiff!!!!

If you need front sway bushings and your dia is the same as mine(33mm maybe) I have a set that Rock sent me double of, and well, its not worth it to send em back.

Thanks, I'll have to check the size of the bar soon.
I see you're from Pa. That wouldn't happen to be the western side, would it?

I'm from the western side, and I can guarantee you that it's absolutely insane up there right now. I was there just before SB XL, and people had stands set up next to streets, out in the winter cold and wind, selling Steeler stuff. You couldn't turn on the news without half of it being devoted to the Steelers. It was great, and I wish I was up there right now. Last time, I had to leave the day before the game. Man, I'd LOVE to watch a Steelers SB in a sports bar full of foaming-at-the-mouth western PA fans. I'd be hoarse for a week.
