Questions about regreasing neuspeed swaybar bushings.
When I originally installed this, I was a newb and got some major help, so now I have a few questions. To regrease the bushings, is this what i'm supposed to do:
Take out bolts at both ends of the swaybar. Remove the 4 bolts on top of and under the bushings and take out the swaybar. Then just regrease the bushings and then screw everything back in? Is that correct?
I don't need to take the wheels off in order to do any of this, right? Also, is White Lithium grease the correct type to use?
Thanks for the help!

No need for all that...
just remove the nuts/bolts (4 total) for the bushing and cover. Slide it down so you can remove the bushing. Clean it and regrease it. Installation is the opposite of removal. I suggest Mobil 1 grease, but something thicker would work also.

Thanks for the help everyone!
I got it done and it was much more painless than I originally thought it would be. Taking off the wheels also makes it MUCH easier to reach the bolts. I tested it out and no more squeaking 
. Also it feels like its a little smoother, although that could just be in my head. So the way I thought I had to do it before would be the way to adjust the stiffness of the bar, right?
