First off, big thanks to Wingnut for an excellent "How To".
I installed new 23mm polyurethane sway bar bushings on my Jetta yesterday.
When doing the job, I noticed that my drivers side sway bar "shoulder" that the bushing is supposed to slide up to was rusted away to almost nothing, and the passenger side shoulder actual was broken into 2 pieces and fell off completely when doing the bushing removal.
Installed the new bushings without issue and all feels really good during test drives today (the annoying clunk over road expansion joints is completely gone
).
My question is... Do you think not having any "shoulders" left on the sway bar for the bushings to rest against will cause any issues later, or should I "drive more and worry less"?
