Installing Sways: Input please

Just wanted to know what kind of problems anyone ran into when they installed their sways. Anything that saved them time or any extra parts that are needed. These are the ct sways.

Also how long should i set aside for the install.

Thank You.

If the CT rear sway bar comes with the polyurethane bushings, replace them with the hard rubber bushings now available from CT. If you don't, the rear sway bar will squeak like crazy and you'll have to do periodic maintenance on them to temporally remove the squeak.

I did my sways myself and it was not bad at all. I kinda cheated though by buying new endlinks and cutting off the old ones. Mine were so rusted even with a whole can of liquid wrench I still stripped the hex bolts. All 4 endlinks cost me around $90 and the install only took about an hour. This of course was using an air cutoff tool and a lift.

It ain't hard. Do it yourself and save the money for the next mod, like tires. You'll need 'em after the sways go in.

My wife did the install for me

As simple as that, as note the front bars needs some wiggling to get it out.
