Front Bushings Size, help please.

[borispeed]

I bought 30 mm front bar bushings from E-Bay for my OEM front bar 99. The seller says that 30 mm fits camaros 93-02. But when I put them to the bar they fit loose, not as tight as the old originals. Do you think that tightening the clamps going to fit OK?

Need to tighten the endlinks and the front clamps to see if it is loose.

I just got this from the technical database section:

Front stabilizer bar
93-97 30mm
98-01 28mm

Have anybody tried 30 on 99 OEM bar?

Re: Front Bushings Size, help please.

The issue here is that the old bushings fit very tight and the new urethanes (prothane) fit very loose. I checked the Prothane site and they don't have less than 28. Only 30 and 32. They have 30 as OEM.

30mm is Oem for v8 cars 93-02 and 93-97 v6, not 98-02 v6 so the 30mm is not going to fit your 28 mm bar.

OK. Do you know if there're polyurethene bushings available for 28 mm? I can't find on e-bay.

Rule of thumb - NEVER trust the aftermarket. Do your own reseach - why we created the Tech Database.

When they say "OEM" they are taking about a V8 car. They don't care about, nor know anything about, the differences on a V6 car.

They don't have urethanes on 18mm. I can't believe I can't find them.
