Default Front Sway Bar Bushings... Anyone sell them?

I'm re-assembling the front suspension on the track project and the front sway bar bushings (not the links) have seen better days. I'm not seeing anyone who carries them... any suggestions?

Iccy928, I have a set of greaseable polyurethane bushing that I'd sell for $35 shipped if you're interested. Better for track use than the softer stock rubber.

13 bucks a pop from 928Intl. It does take a fair amount of effort to get them onto the front bar, I ended up mounting the bar in the vise so I could really pull on the bushings. I think I also used a little P-80 lube to get them to slide on.

This stuff is great for getting new hoses onto new fittings too. Get a free sample here:

If the hype is correct, then that is something I need for the shop.

Thanks for the tip.

David Lutz posted about it a while back, so I got some and found it to work very well.

I boiled mine in water and sprayed simple green on the sway bar. They slipped on very easily, just use gloves so you don't burn your fingers.

Thanks guys... now I feel a bit dumb posting a thread for a part that's clearly available - not sure how I missed that when sourcing parts the first time around.
