Any tips/tricks when installing JDM 23mm sway bar & JDM rear upper control arms???

Getting ready to install these tonight and wondered if there is anything I should be prepared for or look for when installing these components. I've done plenty of shock/spring installs so I'm assuming this won't be too difficult.

Any hints?

Use some "release all" type of product to remove the rust on the bolts of the sway bar bushing. I had one bolt snap in the frame and it was a bitch to remove. Other then that, it is very simple.

Be sure to grease the bushings when installing the sway bar. For some stupid reason, I greased the mount bracket bushings, but forgot to grease the endlink bushings... now I get this annoying squeak on hard turns. Whenever I have the time, I'm gonna take it out and grease those damn endlink ones...
