Ok......so I got the poly bushings for the front sway bar and I am ready to install them, but....HOW!! The end link bushings have ends that are a bit larger than the hole they go into. What is the best method to get these things pressed into the sway bar?

If you use the search function set at infinity, there are several threads about this issue. One method uses string, but I can't remember the particulars.
I used the method John describes above and that ain't easy, especially if you don't have a press.

In any debate, the side which strays from civil discussion is usually the side that lacks confidence in its debate position or in the merit of their arguments. Making personal attacks on the opponents instead of staying on the subject is also a sign of weakness.
Anyone who feels compelled to respond in kind to any perceived slight is often suffering from narcissism.

I also used the method John describes above (as well as the string method), but I would add that it helps to put the bushings in boiling water for a few minutes to soften them up.
