Swaybar droplink questions

I did some searching and came up with 4.5816 as the p/n for the swaybar/ droplink bushings, then in another thread i saw that someone stated the droplink bushings that come are 1/2" or so too big, so anyone know the correct p/n for them? Ive replaced the droplinks before, and they are kinda salty from the dealer, and dont last, so im looking to go poly. Any help? or should i just wait around till daylight and call energy suspension up?

energysuspension does not sell their products to retail customers. you have to go locally or off of the internet from a dealer to buy them. the part number for the poly bushings (in red) for the swaybar to axle joint is 4.5186, yes. but the actual bushings on the drop links (one at each end) may actually be the problem. i thought my problem with the clunk was at the axle, but actually one of my end link bushings was shot to hell. havent drove on them yet, but i think it fixed the problem.

you can also check out Napa for endlink relacement bushings, they are a blue poly, that is what I used on mine and no longer have any clunks.

So i can get the droplink bushings in poly from NAPA? that would be cool since i get garage pricing, and i was looking for them from poly, i just thought that the above listed p/n was for them and the axle mounted bushings

yes, not sure what type of poly but if you key word search stabilizer on Napa's site with your truck selected it should pull up front and rear replacement parts.

Not trying to push in either direction, but here are the part numbers for bushing kits from napa. Rear is NCP2651544; Front is NCP2651543. These are the actual bushings that go inside the drop links, sounds like the bushings for the axle you have already found.
