That was going to be my question.....when everything was rebuilt was the  
final tightening done on all parts once weight was on the wheels?

Since it has been so quiet, I thought  I would throw one out.  My front

it should be.  Rebuilt suspension,  welded up per CAT instructions, stock 
springs, Koni shocks - old and all new  rubber etc.


The front has no bounce at all.  First idea is to loosen upper and lower 
control arm bolts, drive just a  bit and then re-tighten.  Can you put the 
front anti sway bar on upside  down - not sure is could be a problem or not.  
Bushing grease on all new  rubber?


Thoughts\ideas would be  appreciated.
