Front Sway Bar Bushings and end links

I am sure by now somebody has swapped out the front bushings and links. I see the links online in any auto parts store but the bushings are a bit of a mystery. Going to the Energy suspension site they just have a pile of them to pick from. Any suggestions? (Thanks)

I thought you would never ask. You should buy these from me since I bought two, they come in pairs. And get the shorter moogs for links. pm me

I have a pair of lightly used 12" links (about 10K miles). Buy what you want. There are MANY threads here, use the search function.

LOL, Did they make a big difference in performance? No problem bolting them on?

Chevy13, why are the poly's bad?

I just hate it in general. If it isn't greased perfectly, it's going to make all kinds of noises and squeaks

Noises and squeels ?? I must be missing it, or I greased them...I noticed it steers smoother with them. The 12" links are too long if you want stock ones I have a set (new) on the shelf, I chose to have the Dealer install the Moogs instead, mine were bad at 19,500 miles. Those I'll give you, and tell you not to use them 19000 really. I'm happy with the poly motor mount too, no squeek, and untill I installed Trifecta, no spin either.

Once the grease wears off, you are going to squeak like crazy

Not yet, still working on it. I sent ATL's tuner an email. Just waiting for him to get back with me

Went by Hahn Racecraft yesterday and picked up a catless downpipe. Hopefully I will get a chance this weekend to put it on!
