Did I ever mention that I once made a anti-sway bar bushing out of duct
tape? It was for a '77 Mazda GLC that wasn't worth the price of a new
bushing, and it was missing the bushing all together. Took a broom
handle, put one wrap around it sticky side out, put a sufficient number
of wraps around it sticky side in, and then sliced through it along a
radius so I could stick it in the car. Made the car handle much better
than without (big surprise!) and lasted for the year that I had the car.
