Sway Bar Bushing Kit

[youngfred]

...

 

 

Thinking about Poly Sway Bar Bushings (#2/#9).

 

I can get the Mopar End Links, below(#6)

but I believe that they are Rubber.

 

Any problems with mixing these?

 

Any Quality(USA) Poly End Links suppliers?

Yes, they can be mixed. I use the longer Moog K80035 Ford 350 end links because of the ~2.5" lift (a bit beefier than the stock links too) and since the pic was taken below poly bushings on the sway bar end. Also using poly for the #2 bushes.

Thanks.

That Unobtainium Engine Splash Guard looks to be

in real good shape. Check out that edge - WOW -

 

You had mentioned before, about using Fender Washers

with the Black Retainers for a more-solid hold.

The engine splash guards are still available, p/n 55174736. It really does help keep the riffraff out of the engine bay. The newer model ones fit just fine.

Re : Sway Bars Front/Rear

 

Are you running Greaseable Bushings on both ?

 

I noticed that the Addco 7/8" Rear Sway Bar Kit

#468 talks about longer End Links for lifts.

Does Addco sell those, also ?

 

I did not find those???

but it was way, way too late and the Mockingbird

was starting to sing, again.

Yes, greasable bushings on both front and rear sway bars. I made my own by drilling and tapping a 1/4 x 20 in the middle of the bushing saddle, then punching a hole through the rubber bushing itself for a grease path. Did the same for the front bar, and they work great. You can see them in the below pic.

 

The rear bar on my longbed is a 7/8" Jeep WJ ADDCO.

I just ordered these for my XJ.

Is the upper End Link mounting different for the Long Bed ?

 

I thought that I saw the End Link mounted to the

upper Shock Bolt ?

ADDCO only makes a bolt-in sway bay kit for the MJ SWB trucks. I used an ADDCO Jeep WJ bar, but did my own mounting for it.

ADDCO SWB MJ setup. Sway bars shouldn't be mounted on a shock stud with an L - bracket.
