    That is great, as i have the whole sway-bar poly bushin kit still packd! :) As the sway bar would have interfeered w/ the bags (phisically) and it never got mounted.

    So maybe that is why the front is ok.
    This thread helped me quite some. Thanx all.

    And thanx Pork'n'****** too, i'll flood'em w/ chain lube until i have to take the suspension apart...again.

    I used to have a g-body chevy. I put poly in the whole front and rear, and boxed the rear arms. It turned from a slushy grandma cruiser, to something that felt like a new vette. Tight as hell, an unbelivable change. But I noticed that turning from a stop, I sometimes couldn't get much traction. Quickly realized that I was probably twisting the frame, instead of the suspension. I think on flat roads out west, it wouldn't be much of a problem, but back east on those twisty roads, it would probably crack the frame. Interesting trade-off though, quite a difference.
