Did I mess up on rear sway bar endlink install?

I lubed the endlink bushings on an install of some urethane endlinks on my rear swaybar. Was I supposed to or not? If not, should I just take them off clean and reinstall?

The endlinks do not need lube. It shouldn't affect them one way or the other but I can't really speak from experience since I've always installed 'em dry.

If in doubt, just remove one, clean it, and reinstall. Then do the other one. Easy.

you'll be fine, the poly bushings usually squeak if not lubed and usually come with their own lube, just make sure u torque it down

I actually just did mine today, went with E.S Poly's. Tightened the endlinks to 17lbs and you install em dry. I also installed new mounting bushings which I lubed and bolted up real good. Definately lube the mounting bushings if you replace em with new ones.
