Exclamation Steering stabilizer Question

I have noticed that the rubber bushings on my front sway bar are shot. Are the bushings replaceable or do you have to buy the whole bar? Thanks In advance Mike


Edit.... I am talking about my front sway bar. Sorry

NO.. u can buy aftermarket Urethane bushings that far excede anything the stock rubber bushings did..

check Energy suspension for one...

Unless you are talking about the end links, I could not find the replacement bushings for mine, just the entire end link for around $75 each.

</TD><TD width=46><CENTER></CENTER></TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE>














The only difference between the F250 4x4 and the F350 4x4 is the Front Track Arm Bushing Set, Part # 4.7128 and 4.7126 respectively. All other bushing sets were identical.

Also, there is a "Master Bushing Set" for the F250 4x4 which includes all possible bushings. However, this Master Bushing Set was not listed in the F350 4x4 section. The Master Bushing Set is Part # 4.18124. There is also a Rear Sway Bar Bushing Set that was only listed in the F250 4x4 section, Part # 4.5187 (123).



Happy New Year!

The overall thickness of the bushing can vary, but I'm not sure of the application. Mine has the thicker bushing overall.
