#481832 - 06/28/04 11:43 AM My Weekend Update ::DUW::
RoastDawgg Climber Registered: 07/21/03 Posts: 674	So this weekend I got the urge to splurge and bought some new toys. First was a couple impulse buys... SunPro 2-5/8" Tach The second splurge is a SunPro Triple Gauge but i didn't have time to install it....pix and info to come. And I also got some ENS Poly Sway Bar Bushings...Let me tell you...these things made a world of difference. Even with my dead shocks and worn out springs the car handles so much better. The old bushings were about to fall off so it was time...all in all the best $14.99 I ever spent.

1Batman Climber Registered: 12/15/03 Posts: 738 Loc: central Arkansas	I got the same exact bushings. The underside of my car even looks the same. How funny!! I'd watch out if you tighten the nut down some more because mine decided to walk up the bolt and strip itself out. Ended up having to run to the hardware store and buy some stronger bolt and nuts to keep that from happening again. _________________________ Paul 1986 Crown Vic LX (aka: The Batmobile) 265,000mi (sold to a family in need, 11-23-09) 1996 Crown Vic P71 (former Arkansas State Police cruiser) (aka: The Batcruiser) 42x,xxx mi

I was about to say you got duped on cheap endlinks, but I just looked at my Haynes, and it says endlinks get only 12ft lbs... I put at least 50 on mine... would poly bushings need more torque?? It seems logical, but maybe not... I NEED MORE INFO in the meantime... Im going to look and see if they look like thay have backed up... I thought I did hear some jingling the other day, and I havent had a peek since a few days after I installed em... _________________________ Pete ::::>>> resident LED addict and CFI defector My rant on LED bulb replacements '91 Crown Vic (badass beater) .

1Batman Climber Registered: 12/15/03 Posts: 738 Loc: central Arkansas	Whata ya mean "I NEED MORE INFO"? Me know under stand. On mine the original setup let too much slack, so i kept tighting them up.. Well, you know the rest of the story. _________________________ Paul 1986 Crown Vic LX (aka: The Batmobile) 265,000mi (sold to a family in need, 11-23-09) 1996 Crown Vic P71 (former Arkansas State Police cruiser) (aka: The Batcruiser) 42x,xxx mi
