Sway bar mounts - universal? - TriStateTuners.com :: Home of Tristate Auto Enthusiast

Hey all - i was looking to get some greasable sway bar mounts/bushings. I can't find anything to fit the wagon itself- the closest i've come is cobb seems to make a greasable mount for the STi, but not the wagon. I am not sure how different these are between car models, or are they pretty much universal? I did find these, does anyone know if they would work? Thanks.

I would imaging that those would work. I replaced my Perrin bushings with Energy Bushings and they fit fine. Just make sure you get the right diameter.

awesome! i figure they're not TOO expensive, so if i screw up it won't be horrible. but oh, the ability to grease them without taking that bitch off... so nice!

ps, they go by 'centerline height' in addition to the mm... what the heck is that?

Centerline height refers to the height between the center of the bar(the circle part) and the flat part where the bushing mounts. The part between the bottom of the circle part, and the flat part is taller on some mounts.

if you need these PM me, i think i still have some stock ones with bushings laying around

thanks for the info!

thanks jim but they won't fit - my bar is 24mm. i ordered the greasable bushings/mounts, i figure if they don't fit, i'm only out 14 bucks. they're already on the way (summit rocks for shipping) so i'll post up with my success or lack thereof

Measure your acual bar Ash, it's adjustable to 24mm, but I don't think the actual diameter is 24mm.

Yeah check and double check that centerline height real well.
The ES ones are 'taller' than stock, ie. my Integra sway bars now hit the ground from time to time. The grease nipples are gone already.
