sway bar question

71 c10 LB,
Just put on a new front sway bar, shocks, wheel bearings and new ball joints, after reading a few posts on sway bars I was excited to get it mounted, I have to admit Im a little dissapointed, I dont notice that big of a difference with the sway bar added. the end link and frame bushings are rubber and Im wondering if getting urehtane bushings will make a difference and, If I can find a pick and pull, adding a rear sway bar will help (rear coils on this truck) Ive trippled checked and I know Its mounted correctly. Any opions will be great. ( maybe I was just expecting to much)

Re: sway bar question

Hmm,I have no idea? I know from personal experience the front bar made my 77 Cheyenne on bags more stable.

Since the front suspension was already pretty tight, it didn't make a HUGE difference, but it was noticeable.

Don't use pure urethane bushings as they are know to squeak. Use Polypraphite instead. It's firm but won't squeak since it is a graphite composite.
