Default Wanted: front swaybar bushing brackets

Need some front swaybar bushing brackets. One of mine is broken and the other is cracking and will break soon. It's tough for me to go junkyard diving with my work schedule otherwise I would... If I can get new ES ones though that'd be awesome - just don't know if I can find the brackets by themselves. I checked my box of spare swaybar bushings/brackets but I only had spares for the rear.

Anybody have some or know where I can get some? They almost look like a part I could find at Lowes or Home Depot..

Remove the front sway bar, it will help you to drag racing that V6.

Sweet! I might be able to break into the 14s!!

Seriously though... Anybody got some or some info? Doesn't ES make them out of a heavier material than stock? I see someone makes reinforced ones but I'd like more info or alternatives...

I should have my stockers laying around somewhere at work. If I go tonight, I'll bring em with me. How hard u been driving that sucker? Mine were in great shape @ 116k miles. I'm guessing you don't need the bushings? I have everything (F&R swaybars, endlinks, bushings) laying around if u wanna make an offer heheh

I'll give you $3 for the brackets if that's cool with you. All the cash I have right now. If you want more let me know and I'll make a stop at the bank.

Let's just say I corner hard when it's safe. How else are ya supposed to have fun with a V6? A few guys here that have cruised with me can attest to my car's handling and my corner-carving abilities. I pushed an LS1 GTO to the limits on a recent Big Bear run... And that was on my stock wheels - Riken 245/50/16s.

So that's why the stock ones are breaking. I'll swap them there too if I can find a dry spot.

If anybody is curious:

Top is drivers side, bottom is passengers side.



Thanks Ryan!
