A arm/sway bar install issue
 

OK, Have the a arms and sway bar out to replace the bushings (Using Neatrix rubber) I've read several threads about what a PITA the sway bar is to get back in. I"m thinking that since I have it all apart it will be hopefully iess so but I don't really know how to go about doing it to less the cussing and knuckle busting.
I'm thinking I can put one a arm back in the get the 2 bar ends into the bushing/brackets on the a arms and install the other a arm, does that make sense?
Also, I've read several threads on whether to glue or use soap on the Neatrix bushings and I can't figure out which way to go, any suggestions? I have some really good Scotchweld Expoxy I used on the rear Neatrix but I can now say that it eventually broke loose and I can hear them squeak a bit if its fairly cold and I hit a big speed bump. That leads me to believe no point in trying to glue the fronts but maybe they move less and gluing WOULD work in that instance.
TIA and HAPPY NEW YEAR to the Pelican clan.

That's how I got mine back in. Attach one side, then install the other a-arm with the sway bar inserted in it's bushing. A little fiddley but I got it.

I coated my Neatrix bushings with a thin layer of synthetic wheel bearing grease inside and out. (I know you're probably not supposed to). BUT...It's been 12 years and they don't squeak at all, so it has worked. The rear squeaks a little, but not much.

Thanks for the reply, I have some Dow corning 111(?) that I used on the oil return tubes, could that work on the front A Arms as well?

I just sprayed with lithium grease and slid them in. For all the stuff I had read, I was also concerned, but when it came to install, it was very very easy. (like 4 minutes). Good luck.

My other issue I forgot to mention is that I seem to have trouble getting the shaft of the ball joint lined up to go into the hole in the strut bottom. For some reason this was a major problem when I replaced them before. I finally got it in but it was very difficult.

sounds like the rest of the assemblies are already attached - loosen them up first
