Rear Coil Spring rubber Insulators & question about Sway-bar-to-body bushings

[JaySHOguy]

Hi guys.

Has anyone bought new rear Coil Spring rubber insulators? I am having a hard time trying to locate some...

Also, what is the part number for the Energy Suspension bushings that connect the rear sway-bar to the body?(26mm bar stock)

I'm replacing practically every bushing in the rear(minus the ones on the control arms), and I would rather just get new Insulators instead of using ones with 153,000 miles on them.

Thanks!~

Don't know about the coil spring insulators but here is the # from the energy suspension bushings that I had. Energy #4.5134G

I haven't bought them (still got stock struts and springs arrggggg!) but I noticed that the KYB strut bellows kits that you can get from tirerack have integral strut bumpers if that's what you're looking for.

Jay97SHO,

You may want to consider the moog TPR bushings for the rear 26mm bar, since the ES bushings are non-greasable and will squeak/groan over time. TPR material is less likely to squeak/groan and about the same price. So far I've had good luck with mine.

I got my insulators from FPN. I can get the part number if you need it.

I have the ES bushing- no squeaks at all thanks to marine grade silicone and teflon tape.

Moog didn't make the TPR bushing when I did my suspension. IMHO, go with TPR over poly whenever possible.

*Edit* I have the TPR on the rear sway bar and love them. I thought Kerry was talking about the front bushings for some reason. If you can find TPR for the front get them!

Thanks again!

If you want the TPR rear sway bar bushings go to ShoNut. Look under performance and you will find them.

Jay, how many of each do I need? Just one per spring, correct?
Thanks again.

What are some symptoms of a bad spring/ strut insulators on a sho, and how would I know if i need to replace them on a gen3 sho.
