Front Stabilizer Bar Bushing Replacement

Just finished replacing my front stabilizer bar bushings. Mine were completely shot. Every bump truck passed over made a metal to metal thud. Hardest part of the job was pressing out the old bushings. I have a 12 ton press and it took every ton to get them to pop out.

Amazon.com had it for $30 and free shipping. I just got it there. It won't ship untill 5-2 though. Gives me time to get a press.

P.S. If your going to look for it there enter this,

I dont know if you guys have ever heard this but I have been told that I probably dont want to put the poly bushings in the sway bar clamps as they will squeak unless you like to get under there every other week and spray them. The poly on the sway bar end links is a good idea but I dont know about on the bar clamps. The rubber on the bar flex better when it move, the poly let the bar move in them causing an annoying squeak sometimes. It may not do it to you though.
