Sway bar rubber??

I just need to replace the rear sway bar link bushings and the ones that are clamped to the rear axle. Does anyone sell just these pices separately? Maybe new clamps also.

One our sponsors at the top of the page TDS sells them.You can buy just the bushing but it's best to get the complete bushing/clamp as they have grease fittings in them.Lon is a great person to deal with.

If you're existing parts are not new/have-been-replaced-recently I would get entirely new pieces. Unless the price difference is radically different (altho my sway bar endlinks wer $10, $15 for the center parts). I suggest new part because mine were disgustingly rusted, as most parts on these 15 to 25 yr old cars would be.

I usually just clean up the old bolts and stuff and run new bushings. If its rusted I lightly sand it with sandpaper until the rust is gone. You can get the new bushings all over the place. Local parts store will probably have OE replacement but if you want aftermarket stuff check out Energy Suspension or PST. Remember not to overtorque those endlink bolts when putting it back together.

One thing on reusing the old parts clean/inspect them completly.My front end link bolts,bushings were completly gone,had wear spots on them.And it's good to either add nylon lock nuts or use lock washers.
