Sway bar ends worn out.
Was working on the car yesterday and see that my front sway bar ends are shot.They even had small pieces of the red bushing falling off. What Sway bar end would you buy rubber or poly?

Re: Sway bar ends worn out.
On my 84 they seemed to be clear plastic.
I just went to the local autozone/oreiley's and picked up the energy suspension 9.8117 end link kit (around $22). The stock end link bolts were very thin and slightly bent so I got the kit. They sell the bushings ala carte for around $13.
I would not use soft rubber.

You can buy them with the brackets. The grease able bushings have channels in them for grease.

Measured the swaybar this morning to be sure I bought the right size. Swaybar is 34mm. Ordered Energy Suspension part should be here Thursday.
