>>>The halfshafts have no bearing on the suspension--they are just along 
for the ride.   But you're right in the fact that as the suspension moves 
through its arc, there is more or less torque on the bar, in the fore-aft 
direction.

bushings and bolt to the top of the A-arms.   The aftermarket ones are 
billet aluminum chunks, while the original ones are simple steel straps.
