Look what I did.

So I got myself a wonder bar, and since I had to take out the sway bar to put it in, i figured maybe it was time to replace the 20yr old bushings... well here we go.

Re: Look what I did.

And here is the after, after 5 hrs of getting my butt kicked, some swearing, and a busted knuckle or 2, and "making the bushing mounts work" (since the energy suspention mounts are like l and the ones that come stock are like / so a lil prybar action was in order)

So all said in done, it looks cool, and it really made the car handle better around corners, amazing what new bushings will do huh?

More after.

Re: Look what I did.

When I first saw the bright blue "wonderbar" I was really wondering why such an odd color was chosen. Then I saw that your car was blue...


Looks good. I don't recall having an issue with my Energy Suspension bushings...
