Rear Sway Bar Bushings

[Marauderman]

Aside from taking the old one to a dealer is there anything else to suggest for replacement?

This is what a friend with an MM sent me?

"You ever changed the rear sway bar bushings?
I am having a hard time finding the right new bushings.
Just got back from Ford and they sold me ones that are wrong. They
say the part they sold me is the only one listed.

You know of any aftermarket places I might check?"

Thanks

Well--Here is a quick update from my friend--He sent me this info below
-
"I think I figured it out this weekend.
I believe they sold me the correct parts, it was just that the old one inner diameter was
so worn out and larger, I thought that the new part couldn't be the right one.

I now think I was wrong, and the new part I have is the right one.....chalk it up to inexperience !

I haven't gotten the new ones on yet, I'm sure that's going to be fun. The new ones were not
split like the old ones were. I think I am going to have to split them if I have any hope of getting them on myself."

Could he be right?--What does anyone know or thoughts on this?

Thanks--Tom

The "right" way is to slide them on after you remove the sway bar... use lots of lube... TWSS!

The easiest way is to split one side on the new one and install.
