Radius arm and sway bar link bushings 700 87

posted by  someone claiming to be DRW on  Fri Nov 24 17:59 CST 2000 [RELATED]

I am going to replace the radius arm (Cone) bushing and the Sway bar link bushings on my daughter's 740 tomorrow if the warm weather holds out. I have reviewed the 700-900 faq and all looks pretty easy for the cone bushings. (Famous last words.)

The sway bar links are the straight style which take 4 small bushings each side. Any tips on how much to compress these when I tighten them down? I bought IPD poly bushings all around. I also bought two new sway bar links which I assumed would come with new washers and nuts, but not so.

Any other traps I might get into during the process? I don't want to leave my daughter stranded.

Thanks,

Dan
