Rear Sway Bar Bushings

[71ChallRT]

Does anyone have a source for rear sway bar frame bushings? Seems nobody carries them since they weren't serviced on the E bodies. Just serviced as a whole frame support assembly. Mine are weathered and worn. What do you replace them with?

Hi. If you haven't found a source for the bushings yet, check with one of our vendors like Dale's Cuda Shop.

PST is where I got all my suspension parts.

Thanks, I'll try Dale's but I haven't seen anyone who carries them yet after google searches and everything. PST etc. carry ones to go in their aftermarket bracket setups, but not the factory supports. I have been trying to find one that is a 3/4" hole, with the same dimensions as the stock one, but haven't found any. Thanks for the help and the replies.

use a poly /energy suspension bushing , you can buy then separatly , you may have to cut the strap & reweld to install them

Is the strap suppose to be welded to the bracket that bolts to frame?

NO. Here is a picture:

Yes, the strap was welded to the frame bracket from the factory. That's why the bushings weren't serviceable. There isn't a direct replacement for the bushing. You'll have to modify an existing bushing to fit. I was able to find a nice set of original bushings to use. I had to drill the spot welds and reweld the straps to replace them.

Mine were welded.

I just used some generic urethane bushings I found online... probably less than $20.
Because some people say the urethane bushings squeak I added a grease fitting and drilled
a hole thru the bushing down to the bar.
You will have to drill out the spot welds, and re-weld after inserting the new bushings.

Sorry I was thinking about the wrong bracket.
