Off the top of my head, I will only need the sway bar bushings and end links. I want poly-graphite due to the lack of squeak many have noticed with them. Also, where can I get the bolts and washers. I know Spohn sells new bolts but they seem really expensive... is the hardware available elsewhere? I was thinking I would get the TDS 36mm front sway bar bushing kit, but where can I get poly-graphite front and rear end links and rear bushings?

I've never noticed any noise with my ES poly end links. Greaseable sway bar bushings will eliminate any chance of noise there. Originally Posted by racing geek

A sway bar end link kit comes with the end link bolts. The bolts to bolt it to the rear end are u-bolts, find those at a muffler shop.
Which other bushings (and bolts) did you have in mind?
p-s-t is a good source for sure.

I had poly-graphite bushings everywhere on my S-10, I think they squeak more then my Camaro, which has all polyurethane bushings, or rods ends.
Maybe I was the exception, because I went with poly-graphite bushings because I heard they didn't squeak as much as polyurethane. Boy was I disappointed.

PST is a great place to get your parts from. I got all my bushings through them. I also ordered some Hotchkiss Sway bars while I was at it. The poly bushings only seem to squeak when I go over speed bumps and the like. I don't notice any squeaking in daily driving otherwise.
All I can find on PST.com is the bushings... where are the endlinks?
What size bolt do I need for the panhard bar and lower control arms? Could I just buy a stainless steel bolt from Menards or something instead of spending $11 on 2 zinc coated bolts from spohn?

you need grade 8, metric grade 10.9 bolts. the panhard bolt is a step bolt, good luck finding one. As for the control arm bolts, they are regular bolts, metric, 12mm i think.

According to this website I thought PSC (performance suspension Components) was better than PST (Performance Suspension Technology). They both sell poly graphite
