Default Where can I purchase....

Well, I'v ebeen adding a ton of stuff to the car lately, but the one thing I am wanting IU cannot find where to buy.

I am looking for energy suspension bushings, the ones people say are making a good difference in their suspension for $12. I would like to get a more complete kit than just a few, but I can't find any retailers that offer just a kit for the xb.

Any help will be appreciated.

really? The guys at all the autozones here are so stupid, I didn't think it was really an option. I will try that, thanks! Anything specific I should tell them, do I call them urethane bushings or refer to them as energy suspension bushings.

Autozone has them hanging on the pegs in the Energy product section. You only need the bushings and washers and then go to Lowes and pick up some 3 inch bolts and nylock nuts to complete the install. Cheap but effective mod for under 25 bucks.

For an xb it is a 3.5" bolt at least 4" sticks out a little but is easier to work with. There is no setup specificly for the xb. It is a universal kit the part num. is 9.8105 I believe.

The 3 inch bolt works perfect for others. If you go too long you might run out of threads when you tighten down the assm. plus you will have to cut more off when done. You can use a 3.5" bolt to make it easier but just make sure it has plenty of useable threads.
