Well, I basically took all night putting on the rear sway bar. I used the Perrin solid sway bar mounts. The right side mount gave me the biggest problem. You use the old bolts and the rear one was to short. The rear bolt also holds down an attachment to a plastic box with all kinds of connections running from it. Don't have any idea what the box does. Anyway, I had to pass the bolt through the boxes mounting point, then through the new sway bar mount. The bolt just would not take on the frame side. After much contemplation, I cut off the lock washer on the bolt so it would reach a little deeper and maybe I could catch a couple of threads. It worked and I continued on. I also use the Perrin end links. The hole set up looks much diffrent from the stock and I think I completed the task correctly. No funny noises yet but I was driving home with all by tools in the back of the wagon so I couldn't rearly tell what was what. I had planned on installing the front sway bar also but the rear took everything out of me. I used the most rear hole of the three provided on the rear sway bar. We'll see how the thing feels after I have more confidence that I put it on correctly. I hate second guessing myself.
