Yeah it'll last twice as long

A dedicated Teamsters Union worker was attending a convention in Las Vegas and, as you would expect, decided to check out the local brothels nearby. When he got to the first one, he asked the Madam, "Is this a union house?" "No," she replied, "I'm sorry, it isn't."
"Well, if I pay you $100.00, what cut do the girls get?" "The house gets $80.00 and the girls get $20.00."
Mightily offended at such unfair dealings, the man stomped off down the street in search of a more equitable, hopefully unionized, shop. His search continued until finally he reached a brothel where the Madam responded, "Why, yes sir, this IS a Union House."

The man asked, "And if I pay you $100.00, what cut do the girls get?" "The girls get $80.00 and the house gets $20." That's more like it!" the UAW man said. He handed the Madam $100.00, looked around the room and pointed to a stunningly attractive blonde. "I'd like her for the night." "I'm sure you would, sir," said the Madam, then gesturing to an 85 year old woman in the corner, "but Ethel here has seniority."

Well I'll be jiggered - I mentioned to Auto Zone the picture of the sway bar kit I ordered from them has grease fittings, but the ones I got didn't.

Lo and behold they mailed me the correct ones, no questions.

LOL!

I thought about adding them, but I would've had to grind and drill channels into the bushings, and hoo boy it needed them bad, on they went. Poly tends to squeak so after interneting I cleaned where they sat on the bar, wrapped it with Teflon tape and marine greased the heck out of it before installation. Been on 3 whole weeks now with no noise. For now, the new ones go into the parts box

I've used poly control arm bushings a couple times, noisey, and they really firm up the ride. For a sporty car it'd be good, on a town car? Not so much.

This has got me scheming:



http://cleveland.craigslist.org/cto/4069996237.html

Not the biggest fan of the notchback or monkback or whatever they call it in your neck of the woods, but it is basically a 4 door mustang in a tux. Very, very easy 302 5 speed conversion. And it looks cllleean.
