I have worn out sway bar bushings

I took a ride over to BajaRon's this morning to buy a belt tension gauge, and I was talking with Daniel about how to use it. As he was showing me this he also inspected my sway bar. He showed me that my bushings were toast after 6200 mi. Dang! I guess I'll be getting the ultra bar upgrade sooner than I thought.
I've got a trip out west next week, so sometime after that I'll be doing a swaybar upgrade.

Yours is not an unusual situation. The injection molded OEM bushings deform over time. Some in not that many miles. I'm sure it depends on how much stress the sway bar system is getting.

I reckon I've been stressing it lol. Now I have a good reason to upgrade Ron.

I would do it before your trip; you will enjoy the ride so much more.

I'm flying out. It would be an awesome trip though.
