I'm looking for photos of your anti sway bar bushings. not the link ends. What type of material are you using, and how are they mounting it?

I'm working on a top secret project. I'm not allowed to discuss it here. You will never get any details out of me so don't ask. If I tell ya I'll have ta keeel ya. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

I bet it has something to do with sway bar bushings. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)

No, because they will last forever if they get lubed once in a while, and probably never squeak (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

The question of overkill comes from a man who put a 928 motor in a 914....

I used tephlon impregnated bronze.....but if you think bearings are better, go right ahead..

street = stock rubber

race= aluminum blocks or bearings or UHMW plastic or ????

It all depends upon how much deformation of the bushing you are willing to tolerate.

Well I run them bearings on the street - but that is on the way to the auto-x, and home again. It is a little over kill, but everything can move with very little effort. Which is perfect for the auto-x.

I tend to do things a little over-kill.

But it is really your decision, rubber is great for street driving.

I like the bearings. There is very little photo documentation on the mounting of the sway bars here. I just ordered some Nylatron. The company I ordered it from tells me they have made and installed this material in many local industrial bearing applications in place of bronze oilite type bearings.

I was considering using 4-bolt flange bearings in this application. As long as the bar is a little larger than the ends, they work great.
