Link to an item on greasing poly bushings: http://polybushings.com/pages/bushinglube.html
note the reference to usage of some lubes being detremental to poly bushings, as well as being rather ineffective.

A lot of people have used Sil-Glyde for lubing poly bushings, a silicone lube that is also handy for lubing brake caliper pins etc.. It's a little pricey, but a tube goes a long way. I've kept a tube of it in the tool box for years.

Roads are crappy in every state that has a lot of traffic. It's amazing that modern vehicles can take such a beating......

BTW, that is pretty much the "universal" part number for a 9.8" bar with the appropriate tips. I am still saying that the 2 for $30 parts are identical to the $40 each parts.

Ain't it odd that a 10 inch item has 12 as the LSD and the 12" has something totally irrelevant to anything?

I just put some sway bar end links on my wifes 08 Acadia. They are the same length as the HHR Stockers but way bigger rod and knuckles and studs... I wonder if putting these on my SS would be an upgrade beacuse they will offer more resistance due the vehicle weight?
