We re-assembled the entire suspension with new ball joint boots, end-links, and toe-links.
With the front suspension complete, we were ready to tackle the rear
The rear swaybar end link boots were equally as bad as the fronts.
It was hard to see the condition of the rear swaybar bushings, but its always a good idea to replace both at the same time.
The rear swaybar bushing was pretty easy to remove.

I absolutely love the Viper project. Keep them coming!
Thank you for the comment. Glad to hear you are enjoying the project. Stay tuned!
Yooo finally a update, Viper Project got me woke on how based Vipers are.
They are badass big Miatas with torque.
Amazing how much new sway bar bushings and links can improve limit handling and on center feel. Especially on old cars that get driven hard!
Absolutely!
Is NanoPro MT Marine Grease safe to use on rubber? I’m not the best with grease chemistry, but my understanding is if it’s petroleum based, you shouldn’t be using it on rubber.
Great article and a good reminder to people that time take its toll on cars, even if they’re hardly driven.
Yes it is perfectly safe to use on rubber.
I love these posts on the viper, it helps a lot first time owners like myself. Thanks
