Anyone ever replace their sway bar bushings? Would that help tighten up the suspension a bit?

if they are loose it will. Put it on ramps and push straight up and down to feel play in the ends.

I would take the bush out instead and see if it crumples and breaks

I just may replace the bushings, starting with the front, just because. :) Does not look difficult. I assume Bentley has a procedure that works. Thanks

BTW, sway bar links frant/rear have been replaced.

I took the sway bar off recently to count it out of my clunk search! It was very very easy, 4 nuts to remove for the bushes and the two bottom nuts on the end links seemed easiest. You need to have the car on the gorund or on ramps though as jacking one side will cause problems!!!! :D

maybe you can get upgraded urethane items from a place like powerflex
