  • Bushing Advice

    Ok, I did a search and found some comments about poly bushings but most is about the 1LE sway bars.

    I am keeping my stock sway bars and endlinks, but it looks like it is time to replace the bushings. Should I go with the original or with poly? I want to stiffen the suspension up to what it was new or close to it. But don't want a lot of noise.

    Any advice for bushings?

      Yup, without a doubt. It's real cheap too, go to Thunder Racing and get some Prothanes.

        I have seen some that are greasable (have the niple) and others that are not. I am thinking the greasable would be best....also when installing them how much and what type of grease? Would white-lithium grease be best?

          Ok, I went to AutoZone and O'Reilly's to get the bushings and endlinks.....they were a little clueless. Please refresh my memory, my 1994 Convertible has 30mm and 17 mm swaybars correct? What about the size of the endlink?

            It should yes.

            Full poly bushings (please grease them well) on both bars will be a nice upgrade and won't break the bank. The sways are the one area I think poly is good for [img]smile.gif[/img]

              Anyone know the part numbers I need? It seems that Energy has the front bushings and endlinks but the rear is unclear. They have a set for a bar diameter of 19mm, but isn't mine 17"?
