I am about to rebuild my front end and one of the things i am doing is upgrading to the 1.25 Firebird sway bar as descibed on BuickPerformance by George Nenadovich. I have the bar ( scored it for $25) and now would like to use new Poly swaybar bushing kits as George describes but when I search the part numbers referenced I am coming up empty. Anyone else have suggestions or alternate part#'s http://www.buickperformance.com/swaybar.htm Mike
The part numbers I put in the article are at Autozone. Did you try visiting an Autozone store in your area?
George, I did not, I was just trying online. I will visit probably tomorrow am since I'm off. Thanks for the reply I was hoping you chimed in. U have no idea how helpful your site has been! Happy Holidays! Mike

thanks Larry. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year Hopefully have some pics of the front end rebuild soon. Mike
I found it easier to install socket head cap screws (Allen bolts) in place of the original style hex head bolts due to clearance on the bracket to the frame holes alignment. It is tight in a socket on the hex heads.
I would be interested in your initial reaction to the improvement when you are finished installing the larger sway bar, bushings and end links. Ken
