Sway bar issues
The sway bar bushings are all dead on my car. (which really sux b/c the washers make it sound like I am dragging chains down the street. I checked all the other bushings and they seem fine. My problem it I can't seem to find anywhere that will just sell me the sway bar bushing without the whole rest of the suspension bushings. Any one know where I can get just the bushings.
Also, I know you are not supposed to mix poly and rubber bushings, but since the sway bar it kind of a seperate piece, would it matter if I up graded just those? Thanx

You can buy Energy Suspension sway bar bushings in many colors from Jegs or Summit. I got the greasable kind and they are a snap to install. They come in pairs so you can order fronts or backs. They also sell the endlinks in pairs too. I think the bushing pair was around $20 and the endlinks $14.

You can just upgrade the endlinks to poly, but you have to do the back as well to balance the car out.

I agree with Justin that it appears you are reffering to the sway bar link bushings. I bought the 1LE sway bar link bushings and new spacers (P/N 10221779) from VanDevere Olds., www.vandevere.com. They ran something like $5 and change for each. Also Energy Suspension components are available from Performance Suspension Components in AZ. www.performancesuspension.com (800) 572-3768. I also agree on getting the greasable sway bar bushings when you decide to get them. Good luck, Lon.
