Replacment of Sway Bar Bushings

[PANDA]

My front sway bar bushings are making a faint squeaking noise. Currently have a GMPP front sway bar. Is this a easy replacement? Or do I need to remove the sway bar? Can these be greased up? I notice on NAPA online they have 3 different sizes, im wondering which ones I need to buy with the GMPP sway bar.

grease em first. see if that fixes it.

Looks like the bushing has a cut. Can I just unbolt/loosen the mount from the sub-frame, insert the new bushing and bolt down again?

Ya, probably going to try that first.

You should be able to just undo the bolts for the mount and pop the bushing off and on. Isn't the front gmpp like a 32mm? I know their was an energy suspension set that fit.

IIRC it is 39 in the front, stock was 32ish

Hot damn really? I remember it being way bigger of a sway but that's huge. What the rear like a 28-29?

According to ZZP its 34mm

That would mean I can buy this.

remove two bolts, lift off steel retainer, split bushing, remove, IROR and use a silicone grease like AGS silglyde, it will not rot the rubber as petroleum grease will

Well there ya go. Plus I hear blue is faster!

I like stuff that looks stock, idk bout the blue.



























Probably going to pick up those, they are way cheaper than the napa ones.

You got red calipers.

You got red calipers.

I wasn't the one who painted them red, and im not going to remove/replace them because of it. That post was more or less a joke.

 

[Bob Kazamakis]

Yo! red ain't stock panda.

 

[PANDA]

I picked up a set of moog bushings at lunch. I figure for $8.99 I might as well replace them if I have to remove the old ones to properly grease them.

Noone is going to see the bushings, the color will not matter... Let us know how the install goes!

you dont know that... Panda cleans his sway bar bushings with a toothbrush every other week.

 

[Bob Kazamakis]

It's true. Gotta keep it clean....that's my motto too
