Default New sway bar install question

I will be installing new sways this weekend. I have new prothane busings and endlinks. I realize that I need to lubricate the busihings but how about the endlinks? I would think these would need it also.

Nope. Just the inside of the d-bushings where the bar and bushing come in contact.

no lube. put a jack under the lower A-arm to help in installing the links.

Thanks for the help everyone.

I did indeed need to place a jack under the A-arm to get the endlinks to bolt up. It makes me wonder why Energy Suspension does not make the endlink a little bit longer in order to make the install easier.

The back swaybar install was a breeze.
