Subject:poor cornering - too much sway
From:Warren Lail

Lubbers,

Billy Bones sways far too much when I corner, and this summer driving in the Sangre de Cristo mountains
in New Mexico was incentive enough for me to do something about it.  I replaced the shocks with Bilstein
heavy dutys - nice ride, but no help in cornering.  Would I gain much by simply replacing the torsion/sway bar
bushings?  Are OEM bushings okay our should I go with urethane bushings?

I've read quite a bit about this in the archives, but most references are for aftermarket sway bars, not just
rebuilding the old ones.  What's the current thinking on this topic?

Many thanks,

Warren
88 Westy "Billy Bones"
