What control arms are you using? OEM or Aftermarket?
Control arms: If using an after market control arm, you will need to buy longer endlink bolts (After market control arms are thicker then the OEM!) Make sure to get Grade 8 or higher bolts from Ace! <~ Also, it wouldnt hurt to get lock nuts! Remember! This is ONLY if youre using aftermarket control arms!
Endlinks: You can use the OEM Endlinks but if you dont have them already (and you need to buy them) I would definitely upgrade to the ASR, Function 7, or Blox adjustable endlinks!
Bushings: It depends on what swaybar D Brackets you're using! It also depends if youre buying these parts new or used!!! Certain bushings seem to be more "squeaky/ noisy" then others! <~ ASR D Bracket Bushings are more noisy then OEM stock! <~ Even with the lubrication that they give you!
Also, my suggestion to you would be to use Nylon washers when connecting the endlinks to the control arm! They are less noisy then the metal-on-metal that ASR/ Function 7/ Bloxs gives you!
I hope this helps!!!
