I’m about to embark on replacing all suspension bushings but having trouble locating a couple. I’m hopeful someone might point me in the right direction.
NOTE: I have no intention of a racing setup, rather a return to stock objective.

1. I believe I have a 19” rear sway bar, but can’t find the rubber bar-to-frame bushings anywhere. Anyone know where I might find them (new). For example Rockauto doesn’t have any 19’s listed and Google seems to only find poly.
2. I need an upper rear panhard bar stabilizer/brace bushing (the bar with three bolts on one end and the eye on the other). Is it the same as the ones for the panhard bar itself? If so, are the only options to buy another set (comes as a a pair)?

thanks to all of the knowledgeable people here!

 

1) Yes, you have a 19mm rear bar, but the stock rubber bushings were discontinued several years ago. NOS (you might find these on Ebay), used, or something aftermarket is the only choice now.

2) Not sure, I never had to replace that one.

 

Thanks! If my only other option is to replace the rear sway bar, can you recommend a worthy stock-like/reasonable replacement?

 

I don't see why you'd have to replace the whole bar, unless you just want to upgrade. Any of the aftermarket bars are going to come with poly bushings too, so you might as well just get those for the stock bar if nothing else. But I bet there are some NOS rubber ones laying around somewhere, I know I have a set in my personal stash for when my '98 needs it. I'd check Ebay for this...the GM part number was 10224232 - that should make your search a little easier.

 

when I had my 3rd gen IROC....it had the 36mm front bar.....NOBODY made a poly bushing for it....bought a smaller bushing and had a shop machine it to 36mm

 

Thanks so much for this!
