sway bar bushings

So i am looking for 30mm front sway bar bushings that are greaseable because i hear that the new polyurethane are noisy/squeaky, .I looked at Hawks, and Energy Suspension and nothing that size that are greaseable. Anybody have a suggestion on where to look?
Also I looked at Moog and did not see anything. question is Moog and Energy Suspension the same company? Because I noticed their websites sure look the same.

Re: sway bar bushings

I would just run stock rubber frame-mount bushings, and polyurethane end-link bushings...

???

Maybe we're living in different worlds or something...

How about these?

is Moog and Energy Suspension the same company?
The answer to this question about ANY company (publicly traded, especially) is most readily found in "investor information" on their web site. Might want to start here.

https://teamenergysuspension.com/bunker-corporation/

Not impossible though, that they use the same software, designer firm, or other things that can result in similar looking web sites.

Re: sway bar bushings

I used the ES red urethane front and rear. They come with "sticky grease" that you lube the bushing before install. 7 years and no squeak.

They're more or less universal. Parts don't read the label on the exterior of the sheet metal they're bolted to.

Summit's "search" function is quite useful. Start by drilling down to the part type you want, then narrow it down to brands, then see what specs they include in their parameters, and find the ones you want. Makes finding stuff a total no-brainer. For which I'm uniquely suited to begin with, having no brain myself.

Re: sway bar bushings

I have 1 set of red 30mm greaseable front sway bar bushings in stock. If black is desired I can order them and convert to greasable.

Re: sway bar bushings

I'll vouch for Lon's bushings. Nice part and they fit the stock brackets also. Drilling and tapping them for the zerk is simple.
