Sway bar poly bushing size?V6
I have '92 3.1 with front bar at 1-1/8" (28.5mm?) and rear bar 11/16" (17.5mm?)
Does anyone have a good line on the correct poly bushing kits for these bars? J.C.Whitney has decent universal style, but they don't include end links. The end link bushings are sold separately and I cant tell what diameter those are to match up correctly.
Summit has nice kits made by Energy Suspension. They offer them in kits with complete end links. The Firebird/Camaro kits only seem to be offered in 30mm front and 19mm rear.
The kits only come with bushings/brackets for the front. Aren't there some sort of end links on the front bar as well? If anyone has already upgraded their bushings and can help- Thanks

Re: Sway bar poly bushing size?V6
Summit has responded to this with offering their universal bushings:
Now there is still the end link issues. They only offer the rear end links with the rear kits. Their end links for the front bars are sold separately but I don't see them for the rear separately.

Does anyone know what diameter end links to use? I want to order them before removing the stock ones.
Here are J.C. Whitney's offering of end link poly bushings only:

Here is their universal bushings as well:

The smallest either Energy Suspension or Prothane list is the 30mm/19mm. The only way we have bushings for the smaller bar is there universal bushings with brackets.

The brackets may need modified to work on your bird.

Re: Sway bar poly bushing size?V6
Here is the information from the Energy Suspension website http://energysuspension.com/pages/pont1.html
The end links should be the same size for front and rear. Go to Summit Racing and type in ENS-9-8117G that is the number for the end links. Click on Application and they state it is the same for rear and front.

Re: Sway bar poly bushing size?V6
Ok. Anyone else with a V6 and sway bars this size looking to stiffen up- here are the part links from Summit I believe will work! If you want them in black just substitute the last letter R with a letter G. These are the greaseable type too.
