Eibach Sway Bar Bushings

[ht_addict]

Anyone know where to get new bushings or recommend replacements that are better?

Can I ask what issue you're having that makes you want to replace them? Have they failed on you?

Had my car in today for its 60k service. Had them look at my adjustable endlinks. Shitty roads here in the hammer and the front just wasnt sounding right. Tech who works and owns a Stinger took a look and says they neeed replaced. To much play.

Should be able to get replacements from eibach. Or take them out and measure them - I bet they're a generic size.
Poly bushings don't last forever. They can especially have problems if gunk gets inside them and tears them up from the inside. And the typical design of an aftermarket poly bushing leaves it fully exposed.
But they're also usually pretty cheap and on this car the front ones are extremely easy to replace.

Pretty sure you have to get replacement bushings directly from Eibach: Contact Us.

So is it the sway bar bushings or the endlinks that are bad? Those are two totally different things.

Endlinks need readjusted but have to replace bushings first.

Put some PTFE thread sealant on the end links, that helps a ton.

Anyone have a part number for replacement. Was looking on Energy Suspension Website but they don't list our car. Is it just a 25mm bushing? Ive emailed them to find out.

AWD REAR BAR
Rear Bar AS41-46-035-01-RA
Anti-Roll Hardware Kit AK41-46-035-01-RA
Instructions E40-46-035-01-01INST

Thats all I can find, a part number for the "hardware kit" which would include the bushings. But those are Eibach part numbers.

Would these be the bushings?​

 

[NS_Stinger]

I cant say with 100% certainty but that looks like it would fit the front sway bar.

 

[Volfy]

Those are universal bushings for any 25mm bar, so I don't see why they wouldn't fit on the 25mm Eibach front bar. Only question is whether the mounting holes (or oval slots) would fit the factory mounting threaded holes for the front anti-roll bars. Chances are good they'll fit.

Re adjusted? What for?
This isn't something you typically would need to adjust during maintenance. Did they become too long? Or too short?

Where? Helps with what?

Where? Helps with what?

I think they moved as it looks like the bottom connection to the sway bar is not sitting at a 90 degree. The use of thread lock is to help stop nut from moving.

 

[Volfy]

If you torque the nut properly, coming loose shouldn't be a problem. If it still tends to come loose, switch to a lock nut, either flanged or plain one with an added washer. Don't remember what thread it is. Probably M10x1.25 or something close to it. Bring the stock one to Home Depot and find a matching lock nut.
