Hey, i think my bushings are shot... they make a horrible noise when i change weight to the tires (or something is making the noise) but i changed all the control arms and bushings and balljoints
So.. im left with these.. which they look cracked....
But.... RockAuto.com lists 6 different sizes for my car
Which one do i need?

Stock sway bar(s)?
Does RockAuto list sizes?
Front sway bar is 28mm, rear is 31.8mm

You could also go with Energy Suspension grease-able bushings

Do those work for front and rear? I'm tired of manually greasing mine.

Just for the front. That is the stock diameter. They do have ones to fit the Addco bars. To use them on the rear you have to not use the clamp and drill and tap a hole for a zerk fitting, unless you want to do alot of fabrication.

Energy suspension bushings are top notch. Its totally bling bling when you look under the car with the Addco sway bars. Its a must do mod if you upgrade your sway bars. Also dont forget to get the link set too for the rear sway bars. Also get the Moog sway bar links while your at it too.
