How's my Flex

Think that rear sway bar is hurting it at all?

Yea those racks would hit the cab, but the truck was way twisted up the one time that happened. Ill un-bolt that swaybar, as im sure that its not working to good, I bent the lower part of if pretty good. Its my work truck bosses truck recieves much worse treatment.

not the best. new bushings help alot. the old stock ones freeze up, and they dont let the susspension cycle out.

Yea all the bushing are shot, especailly the radius arm ones. Were you refering to the sway bar bushings? The lower links on that got bent to hell, and Im sure that that isnt helping at all either.
