Car Forum / Ford / Ford Mustang / June 2007Rear Sway Bar Bushing Install???
Anyone have an easy way to get the poly bushings on a rear P-S-T sway bar? The p-s-t bar flares at the end for the link to attach... ___ _____________/ \___ _____________ O ___! \___/ The bushing is a tight fit on the main bar, but slipping it past where the link attaches is asking for a miracle. :0) > Anyone have an easy way to get the poly bushings on a rear P-S-T sway > bar?

Already thought of.... the metal might survive but the bushings would be running all over the place. :0) >>> Anyone have an easy way to get the poly bushings on a rear P-S-T >>> sway bar?

I was relieved when it slipped around the bend. Second link was the same but without all the song-and-dance of trying what didn't work.

Oh, wait! I did! And they wanted $75.00. Seriously, I did think of that but wanted to see if I was missing some little trick to it before I took it to a shop only to see them do something extremely simple. >>> Anyone have an easy way to get the poly bushings on a rear P-S-T sway >>> bar?

I'm glad you took my comment the way I meant it, in jest. The shop probably has a tool that will make quick work of it that the amateur can't justify buying. >>>> Anyone have an easy way to get the poly bushings on a rear P-S-T sway >>>> bar?

I take most things in life with humor.... sometimes warped humor, but humor just the same. Now, that's not warped warped like a sicko warped, but warped warped like an offbeat sense of humor warped. It came with the law enforcement job :0), and is also issued to EMTs, doctors, nurses, military personnel, etc, as an emotional/mental survival tool. :0) I knew there was a possibility of some special tool, but it never hurts to ask. Figured somebody might come up with an idea like cut the bar, slip on the bushings and weld the bar back together. :0)
