I need to replace the front sway bar bushings in my 83, but can't find a part number. Anyone have any idea? Or at least what the diameter of the bushings should be?

 

never mind, I ordered some from V12.com..lol

 

poly?

 

Yup. Went with the poly.

 

let us know how they turn out. i heard some people complaining about how poly squeeks, but you shouldnt have that problem since they dont really rub.

 

Wow...I got the bushings in the mail this morning! That was FAST! Just about 28 hours from online order to doorstep!

 

damn. nice. ill have to check on those. one of my front subframe bushings is torn up. its about the diameter of a softball. they wouldnt happen to have those, would they?

i dont even know what theyre called.

 

I dunno, I'll look and see for ya

 

I'm not sure which one you're talking about, but here's the link to the bushings on their website: v12s - Official Website
Just click on Polyurethane, then choose XJS. It lists all of them.

 

maybe its the upper wishbone bushings. ill have to look when i get home. thanks for the link.

how much was shipping and who was the carrier?

 

Shipping was about $8 I think, and it was USPS.

 

Good man.

 

M90, the bushings you are referring to are called, subframe bushings. The part number is MHC2370AA. I do not know of any poly or urethane models. If there are maybe someone would care to post.

Poly bushings will squeak like hell unless you use the lube on them. Poly bushings wear out much faster then original style. They certainly are easier to install than original type. I certainly would not use poly on the lower wishbones. They are labor intensive to replace and if they start squeaking a bit of work to remove and lubricate. The rear radius arms might be a good place for poly, although you may end up with vibrations you never had.

 

i thought thats what they were called. thanks for the part number.
