ES poly bushings and the Rear end
I bought a car that has the Energy Suspensions master kit installed on the front but the owner never finished installing the rear. I was hoping to finish off the job he started especially since it shimmys in the back under heavy braking.
They installed a new OEM panhard bar with poly bushings. I also have 4 bushings (3021B) for the rear lower control arms in a box. I compared the bushings and the new ones seem like they'll be a pain to get in because the poly sticks out of the metal jacket more than what the space allows.
When installing is this going to be an issue, do you have to compress them to fit? Just wondering if someone has installed them and has some insight.
I was also wondering if replacing the rear stabilizer bar bushings and brackets at the same time would be a good idea.

Re: ES poly bushings and the Rear end
Hmm.
Well hopefully I can cram them in there then with no advice otherwise.
I am also going to get 1" shank end links to replace the 2-1/4" shank ones that are stock and currently on there. This change should accomadate my lowered ride better and eliminate the angle that the stab. bar enters the end link bushings.
