Was it the side that overlayed the ABS bracket that broke?

Yes it was, the same way it was in the first post.

I've got the same parts on my bench right now. I may try it with the ABS bracket on top. I already test fit it, so I know the ABS bracket bolt will thread, but I'll need to see if I can get it to stay tight overlapping the edge of the sway bar bracket.

mine did last 82,000 miles and at $20.00 a set changing them every three years is not a big deal. I will however rig that ABS bracket on top of the sway bracket.

expo what grease I should use for those bushings I put new sway bars but I have just a lil tube of grease comes with it and I have those strange noises after I hit bumps or hole maybe i need more grease on those bushings
Thanks

I don't use anything special , any high quality chassis grease should work. But I add some every 2nd oil change.

Damn it Expo.............now I'm going to have to go out and check my RB bushings!
No noise yet.....after about 1 1/2 years(I think), but I'll take a look next time I'm under there for sure.

great thread ressurection. I'm actually in the market for some Tanabes. I'll have to check what kind of bushings they use.

hmm, i should probably get under there and grease mine up a lil...

I believe they have their own bushings. rasp switch to some energy on his i think.

Amazing how an old thread can remind us all of those little things to go check!

When I asked Whiteline what grease to use, I got this answer:
So, instead of white lithium, I went with Valvoline Durablend Semi-Synthetic Grease, which has moly in it.

It was recommended that I use Prothane Super grease for mine. Got it from Summit.

The same stuff comes in 14oz tubes too. A lot of grease, but then you can slap it in a grease gun a make use of zerk fittings if you have them. Speed things up a ton.

remember dont tighten the sway bar clamp too tight.

I don't know if this was mentioned before, but the "text book" recommends that teflon tape be wrapped around the bar where the bushing touches to reduce the noise. I've tried this and I don't really find it to be too much different, but it probably helps a bit with protecting the paint I guess.
