My dad, a former auto shop teacher, said that as a rule-of-thumb
compress them until their diameter is the same as the flat washers
that (typically) compress them. This works well for things like sway
bar links and 'radiator savers,' but elsewhere tighten so that's
there's a bit of a bulge. Of course, if they're 'sandwiched' both
should bulge the same.<br>
<br>
The 'radiator savers' are subject to oil contamination and other
abuse; I recommend aftermarket urethane or nylon substitutes that
should last as long as we do (same for the bushes in the OD body).<br>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-fareast-language:EN-US">While
talking about that stabilizer rod, I have never seen
anything that gives good guidance on how much to compress
the two rubber bungs. I have always compressed them so they
just bulge, thus not allowing any play, but not so tight
that the bungs are really deformed and loose any “give” at
all. I have never had an issue, just reading the posts and
thought I’d ask.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">All I can say is that rear trans mount
is important but sounds like if it's just bent, just
compensate for it when you cinch up your tie rod. Don't
do like I did right after college when I was driving my
BJ8 and not think that tie rod is not important - don't
ask how I know this <span style="font-family:"Segoe

should the car have been in a heavy shunt the only

going forward is the tie rod. If this part of the
