made 3 phone calls, 2 of which were unanswered and 2 emails, both unanswered, I have given up on ADDCO. I will just go aftermarket.
Thanks for all the info.

You could give www.Neverenoughauto.com a call and see if they can get anywhere. They may even have what you need. They are a big Addco seller.Originally Posted by not5-0

i remember a similar post not long ago, i think addco moved to FL and obviously lost employees and are still short handed. I think someone did reach them and they apoligized ( not that means anything anymore) and got the moving to FL story. if they plan on staying in business, they better up their skills. I here ADTR.net got eibach to make panther sway bars. might only be available thru ADTR. check the site.

I just put these on my 2006 Grand Marquis. Any idea how often to grease them? I was planning to call Moog and ask.

Looking into picking these up. I have a 1.25" Addco front and a 1" Quickor rear, so hopefully Energy can help with the rear too.
The only thing going right over my head is "front sway bar end links"? I'm missing something obvious I guess, as I just installed the front bar 10-11 years ago, and don't see end links like I do in the rear, or recall the need to lube anything on those ends. (For that matter, I have no idea how I got those front ends done years ago; looks completely inaccessible, but somehow I did it pretty easily as I recall).
I was planning on undoing both sets of brackets today and regreasing them, but this is a better solution.
Thanks.

This what the front sway bar end links look like.

Ok, got it, what I tied into at the time of install, thanks. My RSB came with new end links, but since the Addco didn't I never considered replacing them.
By the way, I see the Energy bushings are polyurethane so it's good they're greasable, because poly can squeak like hell if not kept greased. My Metco control arm bushings are pretty bad in that way.
I have also done a bad job keeping them greased, just every couple of years, so hope I haven't damaged them actually. Checking them out today...
Thanks again.

I did a write up on how to use the Energy Suspension greasable sway bar bushings with the rear Addco sway bar.

There are some who poo - pooed it but they are still working fine.

Thanks, appreciate it. I'll have to see how my rear bushings are holding up after all this time.
Funny, the Quickor RSB was a superior bar to the Addco IMO, but he just couldn't get the bushings right. He used a shorter bushing with two steel spacers, that could never pull up tight enough in the bracket and eventually the spacers would work loose or fall out.
The Addco bushings for the rear worked perfectly, and as I recall Addco even sent them to me for free.

BTW, probably mentioned elsewhere, but from Energy Suspension tech support on the difference between the 9.5165 and 9.5272 greasable front bushings:
"Main difference is going to be the bolt spacing on the brackets 9.5165 has a min bolt spacing of 2.56 to a max of 3.62; 9.5172 has a min bolt spacing of 3.00 in to a max of 3.62."
I can't tell you what Addco I have, it's 1.25" is all I know, so assuming the 2196, and believe I used the OEM brackets with their bushings. Based on that I don't see how you could use both Energy part numbers in our cars. I'm thinking the 9.5165 is correct, but will pull a bracket and measure it first.

I posted this in post 13 for my fronts.
I purchased the Energy Suspension part# 9.5165G for the front 1-1/4" sway bar. Piece of cake to change and now they are greaseable.

Thanks, I appreciate the confirmation. I'm pretty sure most folks got the same Addco FSB, but the multiple part numbers from Energy was confusing.
Did you do the end links as well?
My bushings still look ok, but it's a PITA to take them off to grease them.

No, just the bushings.
However, I noticed a few weeks ago that both of my rear sway bar end links were broken. O'Reilly Auto Parts had a Moog set that had a larger bolt size.
