Going thru this bushing problem right now and reading threads. I have a 1''bar and wondering if this would fit from MOOG. It's a 1' kit and they say it doesn't fit. Anybody use Moog bushings? Its only $8.47 0n Amazon

I have found the stock bushing on e-bay. Was thinking I would get the Moog bushings from Amazon faster with Prime. Just wanted to get them on before a cold snap here in PA.
When you see stock bushings on e-bay for $5.99 free shipping that would be for only one not a pair correct?
Thanks for the list of parts and numbers, will come in handy as I go over 153,000 miles.

MSRP is $5.72 each.

I just noticed FE5 is 24mm, FE1/FE3 is 25mm. Converting to inches on that small a scale doesn't work real good.

Think I will go for the stock bushings on e-bay with free shipping. They come from a Chevy Dealer from. VA

That chevy dealer is my local dealer.
my point was to show the MSRP (the crossed out price), you could save time and shipping by sauntering into your local dealer with a printout.

FE5 sway bar is 23 mm or .905512 of an inch
FE 1 or FE 3 are 25 mm or .984252 of an inch
Most sway bar bushings from the after market like Energy Suspension are 1 inch so some clearance or slop which could cause noise. My ES polyurethane bushings make noise if I don't keep them greased.
