ADDCO REAR SWAY BAR BUSHINGS/BRACKETS

[1Marauder]

OK,

I did the search and looked, but couldn't find them. Does anyone know of a lube-able/grease-able fitting for the ADDCO REAR Sway Bar?

Part number or maker?

This was already explained to you yesterday.

Drill and tap or just remove every once and a while and lube :)

Thanks all.

Sorry JustBOB, if I annoyed you.

Was hoping someone had found a buy-able version. I just figured that with so many cars out there - someone had to find produced set up. Don't weld (have a welder).

Will drill and tap. Been a long time since I "DRILLED" OR "TAPPED" anything. HAHAHAHA

That or HAD A "Zerk fitting"-- WA-WHOOOO!

This is how I installed greaseable sway bar bushings in the rear.

Have about 15K on them and no problems.

If you wanted easy you should have bought a Camaro or a Mustang. This is an easy mod to get your hands dirty on. And it is essential. You should be drilling and tapping occasionally anyway. ;)

I agree WHOLE HEARTEDLY!

Thank you. This was very helpful! Seeing the pictures really helped.

When you drill and tap, don't forget to keep your eye on your work, and wear your eye protection. :rolleyes:

And don't drill and tap somebody else's work :D

When you drill and tap, don't forget to keep your calibrated eye on your wife, and wear protection. :rolleyes:


And don't drill and tap somebody else's wife :D

I see a pattern here....

I grabbed steel bar the width of the sway bar bushing mounts on the differential housing. Cut the bar to the length of a standard sway bar bushing. Drilled two holes, one matching the existing front hole on the differential housing mount, and the rearward hole the correct distance from the front hole for a standard universal sway bar bushing bracket(which locates the rear hole past the end of the existing mount on the differential housing) Then the fabricated steel bars are done I welded them to the existing differential mount locations and used an energy suspension 1" universal sway bar bushing kit that is greasable.

Thank you West Coast Brother! JustBob indicated same, although you helped "splain it more.

This seems to be the best, logical, and most useful way to replace/improve current.

Thanks all.

Four different greasable rear sway bar bushing installations, four different methods. But mine is the best, of course. Re-use the Addco bushing (which fits the stock bracket) as well as the factory bracket.

really appreciate it. Headed to auto store to buy the Zerk fittings.

And a matching tap, probably 1/4-28.
