PhilT Posted February 11, 2007 Share Posted February 11, 2007 Does anyone know where I can get better bushings for the Cusco swaybars ? I've got about a 1/4" play on the front ones, and the rears are starting to get looese too. Double Award Winning Legacy GT Wagon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeyan Posted February 11, 2007 Share Posted February 11, 2007 Energy suspension makes them... i used the part numbers for their catalog and ordered the proper bushing off ebay or pepboys.com (if you use pepboys, you have to use the energy part number to find the product... their website is teh suck). PS I have Energy Suspension bushings front and rear for my cusco sways (also f & r). If they had a greasable one for the rear bushings, i would totally get it.... squeeeak squeeaaak ;D Mike SoCal Duck Hunters Club - Unit 52 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bushings look like are one piece items though, did you get them to slide all the way on, or did you cut them to fit ?

mikeyan Posted February 11, 2007 Share Posted February 11, 2007 http://www.energysuspension.com/pages/swaybbct.html off that, i ordered 9.5127 and 9.5125 Just search the part numbers if you choose to order from pepboys.com Mike in retrospect, i might have gotten the corresponding greaseable ones.... however, only my rears squeak... fronts are good and have no problems.

mikeyan Posted February 13, 2007 Share Posted February 13, 2007 I never had clunks before , so i can't really answer that question. The one clunk i've had was from one of the strut top nuts coming a bit loose shortly after installation. retightening that solved my clunk issues. I also did the rubber hose + hose clamp trick to keep the front sway bar from swinging left to right... Think the whiteline locking brackets, but homemade.

mickeyd2005 Posted April 3, 2007 Share Posted April 3, 2007 Deer Killer said that his cusco bushings had a lot of slop in them and that's what caused his to clunk. I think he used cut up a garage door seal to fill the gap. Mine doesn't clunk but I'm going to have to bookmark this... good info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Effin Ponderous Posted April 3, 2007 Share Posted April 3, 2007 It's kinda hard to tell from the pictures but the fronts were worn very badly. Both holes were oblong in shaped and one of them were worn to 1/32" at the front edge. Attached are the pics of one o=f the bushings and the boxes with the correct part numbers. I did the Ebay thing and cost came out to about $40. If you can find a local shop, you may save a little more. The install took less than an hour including setup and clean up. You don't even have to pull the end links off to do it. Simply loosen (remove) the existing busings and mounts and replace. If you suffer from the "Cusco Clunk", put these babies in. Edit: If you can't tell from the pics, These are Energy Suspension part numbers 9512.5 and 9512.7 for 21mm and 23mm bars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
