Default Front Sway Bar Bushings - where to buy

Well winters here on the east coast and I have a few projects lined up...one is to replace the front sway bar bushings to get rid of the clunk clunk caused by sideplay... anybody know a good place to get these at a decent price...seems for the X they are quite expensive for what they are.

Thanks.

Ive got quite a few things from these guys. They are in the UK but ship pretty quick. You purchase through them, they will send you an email confirming the shipping and currency exchange and if you DO NOT DISAGREE with the price and shipping you just respond within 24 hrs and cancel. If you DO AGREE then disregard the email and they will ship it next business day. Total i believe it was 120 shipped to my door here in Michigan. Heres the link....

Also really good for other parts too. I like them cuz they are specific unlike other knock off places that give you 25 different makers and prices.

Hey there fixit.....you could be all good with that, but why not at least try a few of our vendors such as Nalleyjagparts, Jpam and Duckworthjaguar......all of whom give forum discounts and excellent prices / service to members in the past?

Gotta be worth a phone call at least to check it out?

Um... er... what is the difference between "you DO NOT DISAGREE" and "you DO AGREE" ???

Dana - Who or what is "Welsh" ? Google brought up a lot of things, but none that looked like they would sell urethane bushings.

Thanks, Dana. Also, why are urethane bushings better than the OEM (rubber?) bushings? Do they last longer?

They do last longer and they are harder and have less deflection. They need to be greesed with a sticky lube or they ma squeak.
