Sway Bar Bushing Installation
« on: May 03, 2007, 03:30:09 pm »
Has anyone else had difficulty installing the sway bar bushings at the bar to suspension location?  I have replaced the bar to frame bushing fine, however I have having trouble pressing in the bushings into the sway bar on my 79 heavy half.

Anyone have any suggestions?

What do you mean "pressing in the bushings into the sway bar"? The bushing should slide over the bar easily, then bolt the brackets back in place.

Yes the bushing on the way bar that mount to the frame slide over the bar, and then the bracket mounts to the frame, but the other bushings that mount to the suspension are the ones I am having trouble with.

I will take a picture of them and post them later this evening.

As promised, attached is the pictureof the sway bar bushing.  After a little work tonight I was able to get them in.  Some tools of encouragement, and four letter words were required to get them in.
