Default sway bar bushings..

Someone told me today that it looks like Im missing a bushing or 2 on my sway bar up front. I dont know but it does look like now that he pointed it out. The bolts are tightened down as tight as it can go and I even lost a socket due to tightening them down! lmao.

Pass side is loose as sin. Drivers side is over tightened.

Poly mounts, nice but the reds squeek. You only want to tighten them until they barely budge out. No need in trying to flatten them as it will only make them wear out faster.


What's the ones on the frame railes look like? Those tend to wear and fall out more often than the end links.

Do I adjust the nuts with the truck like it is or do I need to unload the suspension?
