Rear suspension

I've been looking around and I don't know whether I am tired or not but I can't find just the rear suspension bushing kit. I'm talkin about the bushings for the sway bar, control arm, etc. I see the ones for the sway bar but it always asks for what size, whether it be 19mm or 21mm. I still have the stock sway bar so I don't have a clue what size it is.

Figured while I take out my gas tank to replace the fuel pump might as well do some preventative maintainence down there.

Re: Rear suspension

buy aftermarket lower control arms, don't bother with stock LCA's with new rubber bushings. As for the rear bar, a caliper would tell you what size it is. Poly endlinks would be a good upgrade as well. Lakewood LCAs are under $100 IIRC as well.

Re: Rear suspension

I have some Energy Suspension polyurethane rear control arm bushings I'm trying to sell right now if you're interested. As far as I know you can get everything from summitracing.com.

Re: Rear suspension

if you really want to do some preventative maintainence, get an energy suspension bushing kit and replace the front bushings too.. its gonna feel alot better knowing you did it and it will have great steering response..
