While greasing the chassis on my 04 Allure I discovered that the anti-sway bar bushings that attach the bar to the suspension were shot. Note the replacements (with bolts) that I installed from Kevin Waite. They were mighty expensive, but at least they are upgraded to neoprene. I was concerned that the bar might be under a lot of tension, but at least with the coach in the high position it was not. It was necessary to disconnect the big bushings where the bar attaches to the body in order to get enough slack to remove the bolt that the small bushings go on, so I took that opportunity to grease them. I only disconnected one side at a time. Also, the new bolt has flat faces machined on it so it can be held with a wrench while tightening the nuts.

George:

Your installation looks great & the upgrades that you installed should last much longer than old ones.
