Question:

I bought the sway bar from you and had a mechanic install it.. He did not use the lubricants on the rubber bushings. I this going to be a future problem? I was concerned but he said no big deal.. Thanks for your advice.

Hey Thomas, the purpose of the lubricant for the bushings that comes with the Hellwig Adjustable Big Wig Rear Anti-Sway Bar # HE94FR is to prevent noise between the bushing and sway bar as well as prevent premature wear of the bushing. Not using it initially isn't going to be a big deal but if it's making noise that you want to go away you would want to loosen the bushing bracket and put some lubricant on it. Otherwise I'd probably not worry about it. It's really not a super big deal. Have you had a chance to drive it yet with the sway bar installed?
