the holes in the rear are plenty big. stock length

Make sure those bolts don't have threads where the bushings sit. It'll eat them up. If in doubt, use GM bolts ONLY.

I have the grade 8 bolts...and a old GM one...I'll go snap a picture so you guys can compare them.

EDIT: sorry its out in the car so the picture will have to wait until tomorrow morning.

grade 8, 3.5 inch long 3/8" bolts VS stock 97 SSEi rear way bar bolt.

I did my fronts a while ago, and they took care of quite a bit of slop... unfortunately, they've worked themselves loose... twice. Both times I've tighted them back up to spec, but I'm in need of a more long-term solution...

Waiting on the rear until I do struts. If the local yards are up for it, I'm hoping to go full f41 in one step... we'll see...

My car looks like it has the orinigals but they are tight and I have never had to tighten them up. My car rides really good for have 161k on would they be any reason for me to change it

I got the larger sways (and springs) just need to get new struts for the springs it sit with...I think I might install the sways tonight.

Add a jam nut to the top, tightened against the top nut. Or a nylock. That'* what I have. Nylocks cap all 4 corners, jammed against the top-most nut.

I've got nylock on there right now, but when I re-do them, I'll deff. make the move to two nuts on a side...

i know this is the 92-99 forum, but does anyone know whether the energy suspension bushings will fit a '00 with a sanner sway bar?
