sway bar / urethane bushing grease

**foralon** · 11-16-2004, 08:24 PM

I'm installing a set of hotchkis sways this weekend, any recommendation on what grease to use (one that will last). Any advise or pas experience (things I should watch) when doing the front.

thanks,

Serge

the front sway is a bitch to install.

You need to drop the back of teh engine cradle and take out the steering linkage the right side is not too bad teh left side is a pain get a good socket and some patience.
You also need a good breaker bar if you are using hand tools. Take off the tires as well. Make sure u greese them up before installing them any good beering greese will do. Don't use lithium greese cause it breaks down with water.
