36mm bushings?

From energy suspension, will the 34mm bushings fit onto a 36mm bar? or where do I get some that aren't $40>?

I had 34 mm bushings from energy and i just sanded them out till they fit. Just takes time and a little work and they fit no problem

Before you bid on those ES 35mm bushings a word of caution. They are a "universal-fit" kit. Notice that the slots to mount them are in-line? Now take a look at your bushing brackets. You'll notice that the 1983-92 (and some of the 1982) have an offset bolt pattern. Those ES universal -fit brackets will work fine if you have an early 1982 that happens to have a straight bolt mount pattern. Otherwise you'll have to modify the bracket by either grinding or drilling the slot wider, (which IMO won't leave much of bracket there). Or weld another piece onto it and re-drill the hole. Take a look at 200170 (1983-92 greasable bushing kit) and 205170 (1982 bushing kit) on my web site under Chassis and Suspension for a comparison. If you just want a 36mm polyurethane or poly-graphite bushing and don't care if it is externally greasable, you can get them from Guldstrand Motorsports. http://www.guldstrand.com/
