Sway bar bushings and end links 24mm /36mm

Hi

I bought the WS6 sway bars (36mm front, 24mm rear). Now I got into the trouble of only finding Spohn and Top Down Solution offering the correct greasable poly bushings which are quite expensive.

Does anyone have another option for these sway bars? Are there maybe any rubber bushings in these sizes for the 3rd gens around (Moog or so)?

And for the end links... I don't have to look for special ones, guess they're all the same sizes. But do you recommend Moogs or Energy Suspensions? And then Moog has different styles (heavy duty, Problem solver...). Which do you stick to?

Thanks,
Thomas

I've always used energy suspension in all my vehicles and been pleased.

they have greasable bushings for $19

^this is just an example^ You can get on their website and make sure you get the right bracket, etc.

Re: Sway bar bushings and end links 24mm /36mm

Oh thanks, I didn't find this one. But it says 36,5 mm whereas I need 36 mm AND in Amazon it says "Front Sway Bar". I have absolutely no clue how close the brackets and the bushings have to match and whether there's a difference between front and rear.. maybe some others will chime in on this. Also I read in other threads / other forums that some universal parts by Energy Suspension (and other manufacturers) won't really fit because the bracket is not really the right one. Just want to be sure not to waste my money on the wrong parts. I'm ordering frm Switzerland, so there will also be quite high shipping costs.

As some also claim that rubber would be better, even in the bushings of the sway bars, I wanted to get some experience of 3rd-gen owners. The same about the end-links. So everybody be welcome to post your experience on different end-links (e.g. Moog, Prothane ...).

Thanks,
Thomas
