On the CT sways..do I need lube AND teflon tape??

Or will just the tape be enough. If I need both...what kind of lube do I tell the installers to use...there was non in the box...nor was there any teflon tape but I got that now.

Thanks Again everyone

teflon tape is enough just make sure to use a lot of it around the bushings

i just received my C/T sways yesterday. i don't recall there being any mention of lube but i did get a roll of teflon in the box. i don't know the answer to your question but i would be weary about using a petroleum based lubricant with poly bushings as most tend to degrade them. i think the teflon tape should suffice in eliminating/reducing any squeaks between the bar and the bushing.

anyone else have words of advice before i attempt this install?

2-3 times, 3"-4" wide is enough.

I installed the CT sways last June and used the lube supplied with them. I haven't noticed any problems to date (20,000 on them since install).
