I know I've posted this in a few threads, but it's one of the more important lessons I've learned with my car. If you're going to do poly swaybar bushings, you must fit them. They're shipped too large in case of a recessed mounting surface. If you try to just bolt them in, you'll clamp down on your swaybar and it will bind. A rubber bushing can deflect, poly not so much. That'll equal crap ride and handling. This is how bad mine were for a year:



Sand those babies down so that they're not squeezing the bar, it should rotate as free as butter when bolted all the way down. If you don't want to sand them, you can drop some washers in between the bracket and the chassis to spacer it out.
