36mm Sway bar bushings

[mebe007]

Okay guys just picked up a 36mm hollow front sway bar. My question to you is what are you guys using for poly bushings. I only see 35mm bushings for the gbody. also i noticed on posts throughout the forum you guys are drilling and adding zerk fittings as well as slicing into the bushings? more info on this please

Try looking them up for an Fbody, thats what I did but I dont think I went poly.

I pulled one off an 83? Trans Am. It is getting blasted/coated now. I'm installing rubber bushings so I'll match the part up at the local parts store whenI get the parts back. If you havent found the part number by then, I'll post what I find.

IIRC I used energy Suspension's #9.5168. They are 35mm but seemed to work fine.

I bought Energy Suspension bushings from Summit for a IROC application.

Awesome man. Thanks for the link

no problem...actually just ordered this same pair from O'Riellys before I found this link.
I think 1 7/16" equals 36mm. We measured the bar in the store today..

I copied this from my GP build thread. Mine is a 34mm, but hopefully it will help anyone else out that's looking to upgrade.

Here's how the g-body swaybar brackets compare to the 34mm F-body. The rusty one is the G-body, painted one the F-body. You have to retain the G-body brackets when upgrading swaybars obviously.

Rubber bushing on left, energy suspension 34mm on right. The old brackets will get blasted and painted before installation.
