Hey jermey, you work at a Gm parts counter dont you? Im looking for the bushings for a 1 1/4" sway bar [off a c30] and the bracket for one side to hold it to the a-arm. Can you find those part numbers?

Tom:
About the bushings, have you tried contacting (http://www.performancesuspension.com/) they are located on 35th avenue just north of Thomas on the east side of the road (isnt that on your way home from work, kinda?).

Tom · 01-13-2003, 05:20 PM

yeah it kinda is. Well about a mile out of the way, but no biggie. So is the closest Gm dealership.
I doubt they will have the bracket, but some poly bushings would be nice. Ill give em a "holla"

nope Tom, i gave up the counter about 2 months ago in favor of a factory job. was a tough decision, especially considering all of the info i was getting, and parts at 15% over cost(retail is 67-100%, sometimes more). im glad i switched though, not as many idiots to deal with over the counter, makes my life a whole lot easier.

ask Brandon about the brackets that hold them to the arm... i think i gave him the part number a few months back.

Tom mine was a 1 1/16 bar. This may get you in the ball park close to where they need to be. The sway bar brackets mount to that frame bracket part #6271375 $9.49 a piece.You could go to a junk yard looking but be warned that they're hard to take of since they're riveted on. I mounted mine on with 3/8x1 1/2" grade 8 bolts, washer, lock washer and nut. I went and got the Moog ply bushings cheap (will replace with greaseable with front end later). The brackets part #334671 for a 1 1/16" bar for $4.29? a piece.
