Looking for an easier way to access the front sway bar bushings for maintenance than removing the undertray. Access is available from the top, but I'm guessing that's not easy to do either. Thought about cutting out the undertray around where the bar comes out to get a wrench in there. Any other ideas?
Easier access to sway bar bushings on a 99?

Drop the tray. It only takes a couple of minutes.

It seems like I end up dropping the tray pretty much any time I touch mine with a wrench...

What are you trying to service the sway bar for? If you have it lubed and shimmed correctly, you should really only have to fool with one a year or so. I just "service it" when I happen to have the tray off.

while we are on the topic of lubing the sway what do you guys use for grease. the stuff they send you when the bar is new is real sticky?

Syl-glide. Get it at NAPA. That sticky stuff is nasty!
