ok, i still have my front end half way assembled. im in the process of installing the front end suspension. i intalled my control arms, spindles and coil springs. what is next? should i put on my sway bar next? there is no motor boted to the subframe so there is no weight pushing down on coil springs. the springs arm pushing the control arms all the way down. its been a few weeks since i had to stop due to house work so i guess my next step would be to install the sway bar. how do i install the sway bar with the control arms all the way down? do i need to compress the springs or put weight on the frame?

thanks

Angel, I'd put the bar in now. It'll be a LOT easier. You won't be able to attach the end-links until there's an engine in it though. Mine's been assembled for months without the end links attached because I don't have an engine in it yet either. Everything is in place, but the ends of the bar aren't attached to the links.
Besides, I want to wait until the whole front end is together.... engine and all.... so I can measure the end-links and cut them to the right length to keep the bar parallel with the ground when all the weight is on the front end.

hwy,

thanks. i gues i will just have to wait until my motor is done. i just wanted to put on the tires so if i might need to roll it around.

Not connecting the end-links won't prevent you from rolling it around. Like I said, my sway bar is just hanging there from the frame and I've been rolling it in and out of the garage. It's not gonna hurt anything.

I am ready to install my front swaybar also. Only problem is I can't find any bushings that will fit my factory brackets.

I've bought two sets and neither fit. They are both too small for the brackets. Anyone have a solution for this,other than buying a poly set of bushings with brackets?

Factory style rubber bushings?

Yes my original brackets that have the four tabs on them. I can't find bushings that will fit these brackets.
