FOUND - See July 9 post. -Bones

My through-the-body Weltmaister 22 mm front kit has worn bushings, and I have been contacting several retailers of the kit looking for the bushings that go on the bar itself. None of them has the part. Anyone know who does?

Thanks,
Jim

I would think Automotion/Performance Products would have them. automotion.com

Yes, I would have thought that, too. They tell me no. as does AA and Pelican. I tried some other sites listed as sellers on the Weltmeister website and got either "NO" or no reply to voicemail or email.

Call Weltmeister and ask them where you can buy them.

Wow, I am amazed that the Weltmeister bushings aren't available. This is a timely thread for me, as I have been considering what sway bars to purchase.
I wonder if either of these 944 bushings would fit with some light exacto work? They are for 21.5mm bars.

Maybe you'll have to find something close and have a machinist do the rest.

And if I had to call Weltmeister, I would be asking why can't I get Weltmeister Busings thru one of their dealers such as:

That bushing is for a "Factory Anti-Sway Bar". I have the W. kit. I have tried emailing and leaving a phone message at Weltmeister over a week ago, and gotten nothing back from them. The phone number you gave (thank you) is different from the one on the website I found, so I will try that one, once they open for the day.

Performance Products/Automotion told me "Maybe you could get a machinist to make you some."

This totally sucks. Weltmeister sold a ton of these for years.

There is hope!! Today, I made the third call to Performance Products in two weeks, or so. I reached someone named Brian, who said they did not have a listing for it, but he took my phone number and passed the request on to a "tech person" to find the Weltmeister part number so they can order me the parts. I haven't heard back yet, but it sounded as if they will follow through. When I get the info, I'll add it here, and when the parts come in, I'll let you know how they fit.

Thanks to all for suggestions. We have a great club here!

They exist and they fit! Part numbers are as follow:
Bar to cup (22 mm) PZC-SB-1100D (2 req'd) $5.99 ea
Drop link rubber P913960 (4 req'd) 3.99 ea
Drop link metal sleeve PZC-SB-5000J (2 req'd) 4.99 ea

Performance Products/Automotion/Eckler's has them, but maybe not all employees know about them, since they are not in the catalogue or on line, and the first two people I spoke with didn't. The person who helped me was Brian. <brian.stanley@ecklers.net>
