Working on these right now as well as a few other goodies. But I noticed that some sway-bars look like there is a solid bushing. I'm sure these are stock as the drop link is conical to accept them. What are the variations on these???
901.343.783.00?? I have seen others list as one piece, but these are clearly 2. Attached image(s) |

Solid would likely be aftermarket. I can't say that is stock though....

I am pretty sure that is not a 914 part. Chances are it was added to the car with an aftermarket or non-914 (say, a 911!) sway bar.

All factory stock 914 front swaybars I have seen have a solid rubber bushing, there is a small metal sleeve in it though. Look nothing like your picture.
And the rears are nothing like that at all (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) |

Mark,
That looks like the stock bushing in the picture that was installed by a goofball. It looks like it was cut in half and pressed in from both sides. The aftermarket poly bushings are made that way. |

Those are Weltmeister bushings for front drop links. One of very few Weltmeister parts i use. Much easier to install. About $20 for a set of four.
