They look like just the center bushings. It might help a little bit.

Hmmm... I asume it's for the front SB?
And is that the stock diameter?
Haven't heard much good on those type bushings, except full race, (not forgiving) but maybe someone else knows more?

I thought it was for the rear sway bar bushings.
Upgrade the rubber to poly.

The brackets/bushings appear to be for the front bar. Keep in mind that the OEM bar is a smaller diameter than the Addco's I installed.

Try going here for details,...

I don't recall the stock sway bar sizes, I think the rear is like 21mm or something. 30mm sounds big, like maybe an F-150?

Can you call the seller and find out what application it fits?

BTW, the Addco upgrades come with upgraded bushings.

Just my 2 cents. Save your cash and get the beefier set of sway bars from addco. At least I think they are a larger diameter. I see there is some supply and demand isues for them.

FYI, the stock MM front bar is 28 mm, the rear bar is 21mm, same as HPP cv/gms

-02 p71s (only) got the 29.5mm front bar. 03 p71s got the 28mm bar, 04+ p71s have a 29mm.

I switched from rubber bushings on my 29.5mm front and 21mm rear to ENS poly and noticed reduced body roll, and faster suspension reaction. The rubber bushings they replaced still had less than 10k miles as well. Since ENS doesn't make a 29.5mm bushing I had to use a 30mm, however, the design of the ENS bracket allowed for the bushing to still be firmly seated on the bar.

p/n for ENS 28mm front bushing/bracket set: 9.5170G (replace the G for R if you want them to be red (vs black for g))
p/n for ENS 21mm rear bushing set (uses stock bushing brackets, also includes new poly endlinks as well): 4.5171G (again g=black, r=red)

Considering the price (total will be less than $50 for BOTH sets) these offer a great bang for buck for those who are not looking to upgrade their swaybars at the time, these are a popular upgrade among the CV/GM guys and I am sure you will like them as well.

I put an Addco rear bar on the Marauder.
I took the stock Marauder bar, and put it on the GMQ LSE.
It appeared to be larger diameter than the stock Bar on the Marquis.
And I sure convinced myself their was a big improvement.
Drock, thanks for the info.
