There might be a transfer of rubber from the bushing to the steel, that would have some interesting effects. Rust would be interesting too. These are not windup bushings like the the suspension bushings, but are purely a sliding bushing I expect. But that is simply my expectation.
Getting the bushings in and out is not easy. I expect that the SF needs to be lowered a bit. If you are going to that level of effort, I would get the urethane bushings from Brad at kcsaab.com. This will firm up the swaybar at the same time. Perhaps firming up the rubber mounts at the mounting ball joints would be of interest too. As things move up and down, the ball joints will accomodate rotation, but the cosine movement needs to be accomodated, so the rubber mounts at the control arm provide for that. In a really good design, there would be a 'dog bone' with hard pivots at each end. I was wanting to do those bushings for the sway bar, and the really hard one at the control arm to subframe*. sigh.....
