Poly front bushings/rear sway bar install

[Cmr446@cs.com (Cmr446@cs.com)]

  Installed a set of ABD bushings on the front control arms today. Steering 
is much tighter, turns don't feel as mushy at the wheel, and I can feel the 
road more as well (amen!). I can't wait to see what this feels like with the 
H&R springs and Bilsteins! :) 
  Since I had the car in the air, I installed the rear sway bar I pulled off 
an '89 Cabby last week. For only a factory bar, it really makes a difference 
in  body roll when there wasn't one in the first place, and since I only have 
the rear bar on, I now understand all those old posts debating oversteer! 
Wow! Plenty of silicone grease on the front polys and on the sway bar mounts, 
so not a peep out of anything. 
  
  Anyone thinking about replacing the front bushings, here's the trade off; 
factory rubber will give you a smooth ride, Poly will give you tighter 
control, but you'll feel more bumps and jolts from the road.
