ES Front swaybar bushing?

I got some front ES swaybar bushing from Jegs..they are 33mm part# 9.5167R

Are these the same kind that any of you guys are using? I was going to install them but they look like the bushing area is not as much as the factory rubbers. Also the factory bushing brackets dont look the same. THe stocks have this little pointer thype thing that aligns where the bracket fits correctly. I wont put them on if they will cause a problem.

The backs were easy to put on.

Did you guys have any problem putting these on?

Um....no. Those may be the same size but are not for the factory housing. The ones you need are P/N 5130 (32mm) or 5131 (34mm). The factory replacements dont' come with new housings, they just fit in your stock housings

Did you contact Lon at TDS? He offers new greasable ones with "new" greasable housings.

So I should send these back to Summit? I cant use them....hmmm..Im like I asked about these. So you saying what I need is just the bushing itself and use my factory brackets?....

I'll email Lon and see what I can get...these are going to back to summit.


thanks for the info!

TDS has exactly what im looking for. Ther brackets are factory and will fit and align with no problem, if I was to use the one I got they would have been all screwed up... The ES setup I got from Summit is going back.
