[DML] Re: Front Suspension Compliance

["content22207" <brobertson@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I continue to maintain, as I have since the brackets (and arms) first went on my car:
1) the sway bar is bendy as can be. It easily absorbs the LCA's arc of travel
2) by turning the mounting bushings around backwards, my swaybar also presses into an empty space rather than solid rubber

This is a new one, based upon complaints that Ed's brackets are mounted with bushings:
3) the LCA's are still minimally complaint fore/aft (the suspension can not lock itself up)

I checked my mounts last week. They still look pretty good to me -- how do they look to you?
