We also removed both front and rear sway bars and lubed the poly bushing with poly lube. I don't know why Ford would spend the money to put the upgraded poly bushings but not lube them. Guess the extra couple of pennies would hurt their bottom line.
After shopping for the bracket bolts and Loctite we got started at 1030am. finished the front by 1115am and decided to go to lunch. We did the normal cop lunch for at least an hour then back to work. THe rear track bar went in easy. His mh sits higher than our Thors with much less stuff in the way. Track bar took about 2 hours to install. I learned a lot about the install doing mine, which took me one solid day and couple more hours the next day. SO this job went very smooth.
Total work time was around was about 3- 3 1/2 hours. Not bad for a guy that never turned a wrench.
Test ride will be next week. Hope he's happy.
