  • Suspension Techniques NON greaseble sway bushings

    Well, after calling every GM dealer in PR, several performance shops and even custom suspension shops here.... I found these while lurking on Ebay at the lowball price of 4.10. Yep 4 dollars and 10 cents plus 4.00 shipping!!
    Anyway, after studying the install guide and blaming GM engineers about a shitty install design and function, finally I installed the bushings.

    The difference is quite remarkable!!
    Beware though...if your sway bar links are toast.... be ready to hear them clunking everytime you take a hole.

    One thing baffles me is that I didnt need to reduce the bushings in order to acomodate the radius shoulder on the passenger side as the bushing fits inside with no problems.

    Bit of advice, lube them well before starting and use some rubber gloves. That grease sticks you the finger quite good, and lubing them before you put a fresh coat of grease without any dirt.
    Also, clean the area on the bar where the bushing rides.

    As for squeaks or noises.....its too soon to judge that.

      check Ebay, there are hundreds of items.
      All depends on sway bar thickness. LMK yours so I can send some with "buy it now" function.

      the most expensive ones were like 16 plus shipping.

              Hmmmm, I guess my popping noise in the back may not my sway bar bushings then.... I have been getting a popping noise for awhile now and trying to narrow it down.

                  If you do the front you should do the rear also its like changing 2 tires at a time instead of all 4

                    Checked mine out back, they are toast... Need some bushings but can't find these Suspension technique ones on ebay.

                    Would these work for the back

                        any autozone, advance, napa, oreily's, etc. carries ENERGY SUSPENSION bushings at maybe 10-15 bucks a set..

                        google energy suspension, find the non-greaseable bushings, get your sizes' part numbers and go to the store. 3-4 days you have your stuff w/ no shipping



                        also.. i put together a how-to for the fronts if anyone needs help

                            Living in Canada, it's a little harder then that... Is the rear bars the same size as the front's??
