Hotchkis installed...but

I went to the local shop and installed them for 150.

When I drove back to my home, I heard noise from front and rear.

And then when I took OEM sways and old bushings from my trunk, I realized that the new grease (from hotchkis) was there. I check the sway bar and I see no grease.

I am sure that the noise or squeeze sound (really loud) is comming from the sway bar.

Do I need to pay them for greasing? It was mechanic's fault who did not read the instruction. So I will call them tomorrow and complain them to grease them with no charge.

I will be so pisssssed if it damage the new bushing which came from Hotchkis!!

Greasing the new bushings should be automatic. You shouldn't have to pay extra for it. Take it back and make them fix it.

My friends tried to kill me with that price...haha

I will think as a lesson. Their Labor was 92 per hour.

Even Dealer charge 60 per hour. I did not know that after my friend told me!

Learned a good lesson.
