Thanks, Mickmate. I buy mine here, looks like I get Energy Suspension bushings when I do so. I have been very pleased with their price, their service, and the quality of their products.

I just finished the job an hour ago...getting the panhard rod back in was a real bummer, had to unbolt the upper rear bars so the diff would tilt adequately to keep the rod from being in a bind. It is all back together now and feels VERY solid. One of the front bar ends had NO bushing in it, and the sleeve had been rattling around in the bar end enough that the sleeve was a bit buggered up. Thank goodness the parts come with new sleeves!

I like the greasable ones, would have to have zerks installed on my bar ends. I have not had any problems with the Energy Suspension's graphite impregnated bushings squeaking, though, so....maybe I don't need the greasble kind. Suspension.com says to lube liberally with anti-sieze compound, which I do, and when I took the rear bar loose there was no binding, everything seemed to be quite tight but lubed well.

[EDIT--Sorry, Mickmate, I didn't look at the pics well enough. Now I see that the zerks protrude from the face of the head of the bolts and that there is a small hole in the shank of the bolt through which the grease exits to lube the bolt in the sleeve. If I have troubles with the ones I have, I'll consider those! Thanks, again!]

Cheers!
