I need to replace the two bushings at both ends of the Panhard bar. Every parts place, including the dealer, is telling me that the bushings are not servicable and that I have to buy a whole new bar.

Is this true?

If so, what are the differences between the "aftermarket" Moog unit and the "factory" GM part?

Thanks.

I am not sure if they are serviceable or not, but SLP has take off panhards for $17.00 or so. I would think the bushings would be around that if you factor in the time to install and such.

 

I just found this you might want to take a look at http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/aw-cg...040591&r=0&t=0

 

I was able to replaced my bushings on my stock panhard rod. I replaced it with polygraphite

it seems like anybody off the street can be
a "mechanic"
stick with this board and read read read
and soon u will trust no mechanic short of an a.s.e. degree

and if youre a gen x'er everyone will think youre trying to be a know it all but U just have access that all these stupid indbred idiots dont and choose not to accept...

im fine ,no really

 

For the time you're going to spend replacing the bushings, just replace the whole bar for a few bucks more. The aftermarket bars are much much better. They are well worth the money.
