    You have stock or aftermarket sway bar?

  • Stock uses 1.25" ID bushings.


    No idea if the larger ID works with the aftermarket sway bar. @rydahog what brand sway bar did you buy? I wouldn't go to all this trouble to upgrade your sway bar and then reuse the crappy hard plastic POS bushing. Besides it sounds like it wouldn't work if yours is in fact larger (OD) than the stock bar.


    Regardless remember to add the supplied grease to the bushing before tightening.

  • I did a quick search and the part number on that - 9.5164 - that is for a 1 1/8" bar, the stock bar is 1 1/4" the same as all of the aftermarket bars. The part number is 9.5165 which will be for the 1 1/4" bar. If you put an "R" at the end they will be red, if you put a "G" at the end the bushings will be black.


    Hope that helps,

    @Dave@DDMWorks thank you. Was not sure if all the aftermarket versions were the same OD with thicker walls.
