Definitive? Scroll down in here to page #4 under suspension, then to sway bar bushings
FE5 that's gonna confirm y'all need the 23 mm 9-5159's which are greasable, I put in 90 degree zerks andponit them out towards the strut, makes greasing a much simpler job.

x2 what old blue said.

Energy suspension are great, but you do have to grease them regularly. I do mine with every oil change.

the OEM ones on the SS are also poly, so you could replace them with OEM. They have a pretty decent life.

Hmm. You sure about that ? The stock ones on my SS look and feel like plain old rubber bushings.

That's what I thought as well. I ordered the Energy Suspension ones. :)

Did you put 90 degree zerks for easier greasing? They are worth the effort!

Unfortunately no. I don't live close to an auto parts store and that was the only night I had free to install them.
