    Front sway bar bushings

    The front bushings on my ‘89 LXi coupe are totally blown out. Nobody sells the bushings that go around the bars themselves, front or rear. Where are we getting replacements? I’m sure some other Honda uses the same size or something.

    I changed them almost 10 years ago and they have held up well despite all the oil all over. It wasnt really that big of a deal but just not bolt in.

    you might find a better fit lets us know.

    There isn't much to those bushings. I'm pretty sure you could replace them with universal bushings.

    Pretty sure even the energy suspension bushing is just a XXmm swaybar bushing. I have some for a vigor swaybar and they just say the size, they aren't really specific to the vigor

    Re: Front sway bar bushings

    It’s a 22.5mm sway bar. There are a couple moog and energy suspension ones that are that size as far as the internal diameter but the rest of it is different. Either too wide, too thick for the bracket, different shape, etc. I’m sure something would fit it perfect but I’d have to buy like 10 different sets of bushings and just try them out.

    Re: Front sway bar bushings

    When I did it about 3 years ago, I just got new brackets, fit fine. Also as far as searching the forum goes, it's more effective to type site:3geez.com and whatever you're searching for into google.
