Are all stock sway bar end link bushings black?
I was just under my 87 IROC and saw that my bushings are red and don't look like they are made of regular rubber. Are the stock end link bushings always black?

generally
black is rubber base suspensions (can also get aftermarket poly in black)
yellow poly was factory ws6 until 90-91
91-2 ws6 went to blue poly.
red and other colors are aftermarket poly

As I recall, my '87 IROC had off white bushings and they seemed to be made of nylon, or something like that. When you say "poly", do you mean polyurethane, or something else? I find it hard to believe an OEM would install urethane bushings since they're so squeak prone.

Mine were yellow but I wasn't sure if they were stock.

The original ones on my '88 IROC were a very pale yellow poly
