| What does it look like? If it's round odds are it can be turned on a lathe.
I have poly bushings in my 240, and I wouldn't do it again. They squeak like all hell now. | |

| Its for a sway bar. I believe it is like half circle and flat on one side.
This isn't going to be a daily driver and I'm not looking for comfort or quiet. | |

| Call energy suspension with your dimensions, they may have something similar.
My car isn't a daily driver either. It's annoying as fuck. I think my squeaks are primarily control arms though. | |

| Cool! I'm going to call the place I am ordering some thing from and ask them if they have the exact dimensions. I have looked around for a while but I don't see anyone that makes these specific bushings.
Looks like most applications for sway bar bushings are universal and only need the diameter of the bar.
Also looks like I might be able to just order from O'Reilly's.
Thanks for the info! | |

Mike Good to know. I will check them out if this falls through. I am looking at their site and they have a whole bunch of options I might be able to just order. | |

| Did some digging and found the dimensions of my stock sway bars and it looks like people from the 3/S community have used the energy suspension guys for the same application so I should be covered.
Thanks Evan! | |

| Awesome man. Energy used to have a tech line that you could call with dimensions. They make so many bushings there is bound to be one that is a close fit. Also; Energy suspension does make a series of bushings now for swaybars that have grooves and grease Zerks. Try to get those, they won't bind or squeak if you can keep them lubed. Evan | |
