Great Thread ....
Thanks for posting this , I know changing these bushings isn't a real tough job and Im sure I could probably get it done just reading the instructions but its nice to have seen how its done ..." a pic is worth a thousand words"
I just cant stand the body roll my truck has in the turns and in quick maneuver's dodging idiots ... I live in Ca they are everywhere
and I have heard changing your end link bushings and sway bar bushings will help considerably especially if you go with polyurethane over rubber ..... I bought the Moog first because I thought they were polyurethane ... sent them back when I found out they were rubber ... Much better grade than factory but still not poly , which last pretty much forever and are going to tighten it up so it drives like a truck on rails ... I hope anyways .. maybe not on rails , but at least maybe it wont feel like I'm driving a big ol bus ....

Materials:
1) Ratchet 3/8 drive (or any socket kit with deep well)
2) 15mm socket (For factory bottom nut)
3) 16mm socket (For factory top bolt)
4) 9/16 socket(For new Moog kit)
5) Channel Locks/Vise grips (helping to remove factory plastic spacer)
6) Hammer (to knock loose and remove the factory bolt front lower arm)
7) Adjustable wrench (helps if you don't have a deep well socket to fit)
8) New linkage (I used Moog)

I lost TWO pals this way - Marines, both. Great humans both - Sr Detective and Knight of Columbus officer, & my really great brother-in-law... Both about 50, had not partaken since their 3-4 yr tour.
