914World.com _ 914World Garage _ Replacement bushings for front sway bar
Posted by: URY914 Oct 8 2022, 06:38 PM
I'm going through my car and found my bushings are in sad shape. Anyone know where I can get replacements? Maybe bronze? I see some on Paragon Products site but don't know if they will fit.

That kinda looks like a Weltmeister front sway bar bushing. What size is it?
I ended up buying the org 914 bushing cups and found bushings to fit the cup/22mm Welt sway bar. IIRC I got the bushings from 914rubber.

Easy work with lathe. Any machine shop can make out of Delron or bronze if you want.

SuperPro makes “generic” sizes so you might be able to just do a search on the dimensions of this one. Sunmit Taconf will also carry stuff like this.

@http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?showuser=22428 Side question; I have always been familiar with Delrin (DuPont) material but in the past few years I have heard people talking about Delron. I don't see it listed anywhere, is this a different brand of acetal polymer, or just a typo?

Typo - Delrin is proper trade name. Fingers go faster than brain and auto correct isn’t smart enough to fix it for me.

It is a 22mm Weltmeister bar. I'll check with 914rubber. Thanks

914Rubber does not have them.

Brad Mayer makes a high quality product. These are not a thin gauge metal
We stock his stuff too. Unfortunately, will not be around my car until tomorrow evening.
Sorry ,
No we do not.
Check with George, maybe in a closet somewhere?

Thanks I'll keep looking.

A fellow 914 owner made one for my H&H bar on his lathe. I think it was pretty easy.

I emailed Chris at Tangerine Racing.

I replaced some a few years ago, and was able to find generic ones that worked for me. I forget which vendor I used, but try McMaster Carr for starters. Note that a 22 mm Weltmeister may actually be 7/8" (within a few thou of being the same thing) - mine was.
