Where are you guys buying the u-bolts for the rear sway bar, I really need to reinstall mine before the season starts.

I've never had to buy new ones. I just sandblast the old ones and coat them with POR-15.

I think TDS might sell them.

well for the u-bolts that go around the axle, I use muffler clamps. And for the u-bolt that goes around the sway bar and mounts to the rear axle clamp, I buy them through summit. I believe energy suspension sells them separately.

hope this helps

Yes I have them. I'd prefer to sell them along with the saddle & bracket though since each is plated as a set. I just got a batch back from plate yesterday. I need to reevaluate the cost since the plating cost increased.

Lon,

I'd be interested in the U's and the saddle, plated. Let me know when you have an idea of price.

I've added an option to the TDS 202170 greasable rear sway bar bushing kit. If you order it and specify the size option "NB" you will get the kit less the sway bar bushings. $22 will automatically be deducted when you checkout. The kit would consist of 2 U-bolts, 2 saddles, 2-brackets (with grease fittings and covers, just remove them if you want) 2 washers and two nyloc insert nuts. The U-bolts, saddles and sway bar bushing brackets are yellow-zinc plated as always. If you already have polyurethane or poly-graphite bushings you could order this option and modify your own bushings to be greasable. You asked, now the option is available.

Thanks Lon!!


I tell you guys, THIS is an fine example of service to the customer. I have his 36mm greasable bushings and sway bar brackets on the front of my Iroc and I couldn't be happier.

Hey Lon, Tom at House of Camero is fast as hell. WOW. He gave me a price, ended up crediting me casue shipping was a little less than expected-unusual, and I had them 2 days later. Very good guy to deal with for any of you that might need parts. Thanks for the lead.

Lon,

I received the kit a couple days ago. As usual, service and product are first rate.
