poly sway bar bushings
Wednesday, June 30, 2010 8:26 PM
I have been searching and found some info and part numbers that no longer exist already...
I want to keep my facttory 24mm bar. Where can I get some poly frame bushings and end links?

I'm thinking of using the stuff that fits 2gens since it is the same diameter I don't think the d bushings will be that diferent and I'm thinking even if the end links are diferent in length the bushings might still be useable correct?

Any imput thoughts or where to get some already made for my 05 appreciated

just hit up your local advance or oreilly's etc. get the energy suspension end links, all you gotta do is shorten the spacer a bit as it comes pretty long.

as for the D bushings, i know you can get them in all different sizes. ask someone at the counter for these...



180hp in 1989 or 145hp in 2002, you decide. >

the aftermarket universal d bushings will take some modification to work with the stock brackets.

2nd gen stuff will require more modification. You're better off with something universal.

I never had that issue when I changed mine out on the stock setup a few years ago.
they fit right in and needed little to no modification that I can remember.

But yeah, what they said.
Just get the 24mm D bushing from Energy Suspension and they can be ordered through the Advanced Auto Parts etc.
The end links work with no mods and are a near perfect fit for most cars.
Make sure that you get the complete setup for the endlinks which include the bults, collar, washers, and bushings.
Most endlinks die a horrible death with rust so might as well replace it all with new parts for cheap.

Good luck with it.

the energy suspension universal bushings i bought needed to have the outer ribs cut down as they were designed to work with the energy suspension brackets (which were designed to bolt on both sides as opposed to tab into subframe slot and then bolt on other side.) took some persuasion to put them in my sedan.
