new rubber sway bar bushings question
I've read that the general consensus is to not lube/grease up the rubber factory sway bar bushings during install but since the rubber on metal friction fit occurs, should the sway bar bushing housing be installed with the vehicle flat on ground so suspension parts are all at natural state?
If you tighten the bushing housing on with the car raised (wheels, suspension dropped cause you used jack stands to support the vehicle instead of a ramp style lift) woudn't that tighten the bushing onto the sway bar in an unnatural state? Just thinking out loud here... PS: repair manual calls for just 14 ftlbs of torque on the 4 nuts holding bushing bracket to sub frame yet 74 ftlbs on the Sway Bar End Link ball joints.
