So, at 184k my Georgia-driven (no snow/corrosion) ST popped a front sway bar bushing.... Maybe it was because of the body lift, who knows. I am 2WD and the ride got considerably worse as the play in the sway bar linkage was moving and it made a hideous clunk up front. Luckily, the kit for both sides was $27 at Summit with ridiculously fast shipping. I got the Moog 7275 kit if anyone else needs to order it. Relatively easy install; jack, jack stands under B body mount jack point, remove wheels, remove old hardware with vice grips on bottom to keep from rotating. The hardest part was putting everything back on and having extra bolt length to tie it all together. To get the length, you've got to put the opposite side wheel on and jack the side you're working on (I put my jack under the lower ball joint crown nut, wouldn't recommend but it worked). This flattens out the control arms that you're working on and gives enough extra thread to work with. Putting the screws in top down is easier so you don't have to hold it in. I did my front brake pads (and discovered a leaking piston on drivers side) as well while I was at it. Install time - 1 hour give or take by myself with no air tools. Not very hard to do.
As always, keep on Trac'n!
