I picked up a stock rear sway bar for my project and it had some old bushings still on it. Here they are pictured with a new set of OEM style from 914Rubber.
Questions: 1. Anyone recognize the material of the old bushings? 2. The new ones don’t seem to have a split. Is it on me cut them for installation? 3. Is there a recommendation for lubrication with the new bushings?  Thanks |
