Diagnosed rear end noise...

[jex]

It is my freakin swaybar that sounds horrid! It is these bushings (red)....any way to lube it up? :)
My car sounds like it is fallin apart!

[jex]

Or is there anywhere that sells just the bushings???

One more question. The point where the swaybar links bolt to the swaybar seems "loose"....it just doesn't seem like the bolt isn't tight enough or something. Is this normal??

The bushings are available from your dealer for about $6ea. You have to know the diameter (in millimeters) of the sway to get the right bushings.

I was just making comments about using rubber instead on sways. This weekend if i recall correctly.

rubber > urethane

rubber > urethane

If the car is anything less than a dedicated track car, I absolutely agree.

Oh man, i remember putting my `19mm rear sway bar links on ... It was one of the hardest things to install.

They were the red urethane bushings. I love them actually. Couldn't be happier and I don't track my e30

Is it really that hard? Got any tips? Any write up somewhere i can follow?

Yea...im pretty sure its a 19mm bar (suspension techniques). I think I'll probably go with rubber. Does the dealer carry bushings in this size?
