I installed the Prothane Front and Rear Swaybar bushiings this weekend.

I have to admit, I installed my Tokico D-Specs at the same time so I cant tell you exactly how much the bushings help but the car has certainly lost the vague feeling when turning into a corner.

The install was easy.

The rear bar needs to come off the car and you have to pull the links off, then you need to cut the bushings out. The bottom link bushing came out easy but the top were a pain. Fortunately, I was at my buddies shop and has use of his press to push the tops out. Installing the top bushing was easy, as it is just a two-piece that slips in from either side and a metal sleeve. For the bottoms, I went the easy route and used the press again, but I am sure you can easily do those with a block of wood and a c-clamp.

The front was much easier than I expected as well. The Prothane Bushing has a slit cut in it and you can slide it over the front swaybar. Rather than trying to save the stock bushing, i cut that off the bar with a utility knife.

I would definitely say it is an easy, low cost mod and I will say, when combined with the D-specs , definitely worth it.

Great update... Where did you find the bushings?

[WoobieDaddy]

I got the Bushings from stangsuspension.com. They were ~$50 for the front and rear.

I actually got the D-specs w/ remote adjusters, Bushings ,BMR LCAs and a BMR adjustable Panhard from them. I haven't installed the LCAs or the PH yet.

That's a good deal... I have prothane engine mounts and they're great.

Did you have to take all the weight off the wheels(with jack stands etc)to remove front and rear sway bars?

You really need to remove the wheels to access the endlinks anyway. But you can support by the axle on jackstands to do it.

Interesting, my car came with poly bushings in the mounts from the factory .....

You have red poly bushings stock??

They're black, shiny and hard as a rock. Both the front and rear bushings. From the factory.

The rear endlinks do have a high durameter rubber though.

I pulled out my old ones to take a look... The swaybar bushings look like they are poly, but the endlinks are rubber.
