Where do I get 36mm bar bushings

Where can I buy good 36mm sway bar bushings. Not the rubber stock ones. I want poly ones. I bought a set from PST.They are 34mm and came with the kit I was told by them to bore them out.

Contact the folks at Guldstrand and ask for Bob. They stock the correct 36mm sway bar bushings.

Tell him Mike from Maryland says hello.

I had read in some of the other threads that guys are using the ES 35mm bushings with 36mm sway bars and not having any problems. I would like to know some people's experience's with the Gulstrand 36mm bushings.

I just put the Guldstrands on and am happy so far. They're polygraphite and much better than the universal greasable ones from ES (which I have on the back). Just like Bob (I guess) from Guldstrand said, they don't stay in place. The slotted mounting holes let the bar shift and the grease zirks eliminated one of the best jackstand points on the back of the car. Just my .02

I agree. The mounting holes on the ES bushings suck, but mine haven't slipped yet.

I'm interested in the Guldstrands for the front though. How much are they?

if I remember it was only about 35 bux. check out their site and request a catalog. much more info in there than the website. I believe they'll send one free with an order.

I called them yesterday and mine are in the mail. Bob seems to really understand third gen cars. I did not use the slotted brackets on the back.I used the stock ones. The front ones are 19.95 plus shipping

Guldstrand really knows these cars 'cause Dick Guldstrand helped in the development of the Gran Sport 'vette and the 3rd Gen F-bodies. He has some serious history with GM from the 60's, thru the 70's and is still around today.

Bob handles the parts and helps in the shop and you'll still see Dick Guldstrand in the shop working on customers cars or projects. I got to meet him a few weeks ago on a trip out to SoCal.
