Default inner front sway bar bushing. 86 951.

anybody know for sure what size it is? no m030 or anything. i'm about 10,000 miles away from my car so i can't just go out and check.. but i want to order a new one so it's waiting at my doorstep when i return.

pelican says 24mm....

it does indeed, thank you again.

i was thinking of ordering just the passenger inner... but they're relatively cheap.. might as well replace the entire set?

would it be cheaper than pelican's price?

i don't autox or anything... just want to get rid of the clunking when i corner.

and it took 23 years for the stock one to break.

$40 for a pair, same price as all the vendors sell the other bushings for

I realize the stock one's lasted 23 years, thats great! longer than most get out of them

The delrin ones will allow for less deflection in the bar, thus it will be working more, which will provide more roll stiffness early in the roll moment.

If its just the passenger side that went you should check your power steering line at the res..power steering fluid eats the bushing. just get the delrin bushings, you will like the feel.

already ordered OEM ones from pelican. the inners were only like 6$ i think? everywhere else sells for at least 20. outers i didn't order since mine aren't broken, and they're like 25 a piece. but the bushings for the end link i got new ones for those too.

should be coming in today! gotta fix that, charge my AC, replace my thermofan switch... then i should be good to go. fingers crossed the new RMS i put in during the clutch change doesn't leak. RMS leaks are usually small anyways, right? I've got a RMS leak on the camaro (spun rod bearing too, so RMS is least of my worries lol) and i usually have to add a quart after like a month or two.
