Default Does anyone make a 1 1/2 greasable sway bar bushing?

I am looking at updating some of my suspension componets. I have addco front and rear sway bars. My current bushings are toast and I am looking to upgrade to poly bushings that are greaseable. I found ones for the rear but i can't seem to find one for the front. The closest i have found is 1 7/16 that are greasable. Yall think those 1 7/16 ones will be OK?

Ya, i think i am just going to order the 1 7/16 ones... currently i am running stock bushings on the front which are pretty well wore out and crushed. I don't think running a stock sized bushing with a 1 1/2 sway bar was a good idea... in the back i am running the addco bushings that came with the bar, they look horrible...

Sorry bro, I did many searches for you and didn't find exactly what you are requesting...

There are some different bushing sets on Summit Racing, but I couldn't find any that specified 1.5"...also a couple different ones on Jegs...

Good luck!

Yep i have looked everywhere...


on a side note: the addco bars are nice, but ALL the mounting hardware is crap... The front bar did not come with bushings so i had to reuse the stockers...


I think i am just gonna get the 1 7/16 ones for the front. On the rear i am going to completely redo all the mounting points, i am planning on welding solid mounting points to the axle and trash all the stupid ubolts...
