What are the advantages and disadvantages of each of these (the front endlink graphite bushings and the rear sway bar mount graphite bushings)? Has anyone tried the graphite bushings from xterraparts.com? I seem to remember someone saying their rear sway bar mount bushings broke. Was that you, Ian?

Your comments would be helpful!

I destroyed a set of Energy Suspension front sway bar brackets in a few hours. They can't handle the stress of the front sway bar.
I didn't try the rears (which are greasable, not graphite), since I don't run a rear sway bar.

Graphite impregnated urethane bushings are simply self lubricating.

Will the front endlink bushings simply improve cornering response? Any other effects?

Being urethane, they will stiffen up the sway bar compared to the stock rubber bushings.

I don't know of any side effects.
