Great, thanks for the info guys! I'm getting my new BAT bushings and ES grommets tomorrow (hopefully) and will be installing them probably on Thursday. I'm assuming the kit will be self-explanatory, but if you have some helpful first-hand hints, I'll certainly be appreciative. I'm cool with changing the bushings, just don't know what to expect with the endlinks. Thanks again!

When you get the box, drink a beer.
when you open the box drink another.
When you start working on the car, have a smoke and another beer.
After you find all the right tools, have another beer.
Stop and use the bathroom.

Now due the first side with ahving another beer.

Repeat process for other side.

Sounds like a plan! I read somewhere that a CEGer fit a zerk fitting to the metal bushing u-bracket and drilled a hole through the bushing and then somehow made grooves in the poly bushing for the grease to stay in (similar to the ES greasable bushings). Anyone know the best way to get the grooves in the bushing? There's not much give with these new poly BAT bushings to open them and get a dremel bit in there to make grooves. Just a thought before I replace them tomorrow. Thanks!
