Hi all, does anybody know if there are some after market sway bar
bushings that will last more than 20K? I've used OEM, Moog, Etc.
Thanks Dave

Hi
Use bits of a waterhose like you have in your cooling system.
Worked fine for me for about 110k miles now.

Let your worn out bushings be where they are and put i a bit of a hose
around
the swaybar like a bushing in the bushing. Itīs a bitch to get the
clamp back on
but with a bit of mild violence and big muscles it works fine.

And be careful to not bend the clamps when trying to save yourself $12
because the clamps cost a whole lot more.

You're only getting 20k miles before clunking? You're not putting lubricant
of some sort on them are you?

A synthetic brake lube is perfect for this application.
