I am having a fun time locating a sway bar bushing for my turck. I bought parts number k80202 from advance and when I tried to put it on it is too big and making the mounting bracket bend! I had to use my jack to squeez the bracket over the bushing. THe energy savings one they sell is too small for the bar. Does anyone know where I can find the correct one? Also if anyone knows the size of the bar??

btw it is a
2000 Excursion
5.4l
2wd

Thanks

Mine is a 36mm bar but it is 4wd diesel.....

 

Funny this comes up today. I was looking for the same thing last night. What I found was the part k80203 was for the 2wd, with what looked like the smaller bar. I think the size of it was 34.? mm. Don't remember, but I remember checking it twice because I almost ordered it and caught that at the last moment that it was for 2wd.
The 4wd bar is as stated 36 mm.

 

Good catch........F250 is 32mm

 

I was looking up sway bar bushings today also. all the sites call out 34mm for the 2wd. O'reilly has Moog ones for $12.50 here in Ft Worth. http://www.oreillyauto.com/site/c/de...OO0/K80202.oap

 

Wish I had your truck.


Thanks though

 

There is sizes from 18 to 32 on these. My truck is a oem but didnt match Moog or Energys website so I had to get Ford bushings. Measure with a wrench, crescent wrench or get some of those paper star tools.

 

This is what I did in order to find my sway bar size.

 

I know this is an old thread but I was having this problem tonight with my 2000 ex/2wd/7.3. I went up to advance with the old bushing and bracket in hand and went through all the bushings from 2000-2003 excursions and f-250. The last one we tried was moog part #k80097. That's a bingo! The other part #'s pulled up by all the part stores were to tall, but this one fits perfect.

Edit:
The part Moog #K80097 is identical to Motorcraft YC35-5484-AA, which I assume was the OEM busing used on 2wd 2000 Excursions, at the part store they matched up perfectly. However, when I brought the bushing back to the shop for install the bar, which is 35.8mm, is too thick in diameter by about 3-4mm. I tightened the brackets to 36 ft/lbs and there is a slight gap in the bushing. All works well though; the looseness in the steering and clanking sound going over bumps is gone.

Edit #2:
After seeing Exv10's post, I am thinking that either the early 2000 excursions had the 36mm bar, or someone installed a 4wd sway bar on my 2wd... The world may never know (care)

 

36mm=4wd ex
34mm=2wd ex

 

Did any of you here do the replacement on a 2wd ?
I took a quick peak under the front but I noticed the swaybar (or what looked like the swaybar) is connected to different type of links ?
Or perhaps I was looking at something else.
Are the links on the 2wd the same ?
I'll have to put it up the ramps and take a better look I guess.
