ive got a 36mm front sway bar, and am looking for poly bushings for the mounts, end links. anyone have a brand name/part # that they have had a good experience with?

Energy suspension sells them. I can get the part number a little later, it should be an easy search though.

I tried looking through the ES catalog the other day at work and never found a 36mm sway bar bushing, just the 35. Close enough?

Yeah i was on summits website, and the largest they had listed was for a 34mm bar. so the search continues.

I believe you have to sand/ream out the bushings to fit. Mine came with my energy suspension kit and thats what they had me do to fit the 36mm bar.

I think topdownsolutions takes the 34mm and modifies them to fit 36.

youd thunk by now that ES would be on the ball and sell 36's.

Don't know about the 36mm bushings, but I can get endlinks with urethane from the local parts store for $7 a piece. Thats the complete endlink with thick washers, nylon lock nut, and correct length bolt with spacer.

I was half joking when I asked the guy the first time, but he was like, "Yup, got 5 in the back, how many do you want?"

True, I'm just saying the parts store will have pre-assembled endlinks for cheap.

Funny, I just ordered 34mm urethane bushings for the LT1.

They sell the endlinks in pairs I thought?

unless they sell the cheapo rubber ones individual because people dont want to replace "whats not broken".

so the only 36 mm mount bushings i could find are rubber, i think im gonna use the rubber mount bushings, and poly end links.

One of the first mods that I did to the GTA was poly sway bar bushings and endlinks. Little dollars and noticable change.

I used the 35mm Energy Suspension greasable sway bar bushings 7 or 8 years ago. I didn't sand them down just ran them as is... no problems.

As far as why they don't sell 36mm sway bar bushings... not that common. These are big ass sway bars; not that common.

Good luck, have fun!

so i ordered some 35mm energey suspension bushings/endlinks for summit. 40 bux for the right size was a bit too steep for my budget, i got the 35mm mounts and endlinks for the same price.
