Greasable ones go on the frame, non-greasable go on the A-arms.

Re: ECE front sway - which bushings go where?

awesome, thanks for the quick reply. My frame bolts are the opposite way, but I doubt that makes any diff. Thanks!

Re: ECE front sway - which bushings go where?

Rob had to mount the bolts with the threads down because he is running the lowered sway bar towers as well. I believe if you have the standard height towers, you can run them with the threads up.... at least then you don't get roadkill hooked on them...... don't ask how I know!!!

Re: ECE front sway - which bushings go where?

When we did 72BlckButy's truck,... I noticed his ECE bushings were the same.
(just 2 had grease zerks)

I wonder why they don't make all 4 greaseable?

Im guessing the geometry on the a arm ones mean hardly ANY movement compared to the frame ones.

That's what my mom used to tell me before getting on the bus that wasn't as long as the others when I was a kid.
