Where can I get sway bar bushings for a 36mm WS-6 bar?

I have been told SUMMIT/JEGS sell a 35mm ES bushing that can be honed out to fit, but I can't find it anywhere in either catalogs. PLEASE HELP ME OUT, thanks.

I haven't heard of one that size, but I have heard of people using the 34mm ES bushings and honing them out. They're part number 3-1531 for a pair of them, about $13-14 from Summit/Jegs...

I've heard the same that Greg said. And remember- neither of the catalogs you mention list all the parts they carry! You have to Call & Ask, and you shall Receive Hell, I just got that huge PAW catalog, and even they don't list every single part made! (And I had to pay for that book, too...)

http://www.guldstrand.com/ They sell them. $20 each and $6 shipping. A rip off but I think they are the only ones to sell 36's

Try your local auto store,(Autozone)thats were i bought mine. They even had the poly end links like the factory ones. And they were alot cheaper than aftermarket.

I had the same problem b/c my front sway bar is 36mm. I just ended up buying the 34mm greasable bushings from Summit and they worked w/o having to hone them out. If you try to test fit them around the sway bar then it will look like it is too small. But once you get the bracket around them and start the bolts that attach it to the frame, tightening the bolts will force the bushing around the sway bar.

The car is doing pretty well. I've had a few minor problems with the tranny. It doesn't like to go in reverse when the clutch is cold and it still takes some effort for it to lock up into gear when it heats up. I thought it was the Centerforce clutch I had in there so I recently swapped it out for a Mcleod. That didn't fix the problem so I'm hoping I just have to break this clutch in and it isn't anything mechanically wrong with the transmission. Other than that, I love it.
