[Shotimes] Link to Sway bar info?

[Carl Prochilo]

Two things.

First, You may not find those energy suspension bushings in the size you
want.  A solution that worked was to buy a "standard" size bushing set and
use a dremmel to make it fit.  That' what happened recently for me on the
92.
Second, to do the front sway bar bushings, you'll have to drop the subframe
some.  Don't know if I'd want to that job in a parking lot.  : )

Cheers,
