Where to order swaybar bushings?

I need them replaced on my 2003 7.3. Clay at Riffraff used to stock them but he no longer does.

Does anyone sell a complete kit now?

Look here: Energy Suspension 4.5186 Complete Front Sway Bar and End Link Bushings Set - 32mm - 1.5 Inch Endlink Eyes Link is to the 4x4 kit, but they have all the Energy Suspension kits, as well as Moog parts.

My experience with the sway bar bushings was strange, the moog part which pulled up for my 2000 2wd Ex (moog pn #K80202) was way off, being about an inch taller than the OEM bushing. Energy Suspension pn#4.5180 didn't fit either,I believe it didn't have the beveled base. The part # on the OEM bushing was YC35-5484-AA, after a bunch of trial and error I found that moog part #K80097 fit almost perfectly (the bar was about 2 mm too thick still, leaving a slight gap in the bushing split). Of course we have different year 7.3s, and I'm not sure if yours is a 2wd Ex or not; just relaying what I found.

If anyone has any idea which part best replaces #YC35-5484-AA, I'd be happy to hear it.

BTW, what kind of 7.3 do you drive?

I bought a new ford swaybar and the bushings on the axle didn't fit correctly either and I couldn't find the proper fit either.

I bought mine at Energy Suspension 4.5186G 32mm Front Sway Bar Set $35.60 + shipping

There is a different part number for the E99 and L99

I am trying to remember, but I am thinking the Camper Package has a slightly larger rear sway bar. I remember measuring mine, for some reason.
