Default Front poly-bushing questions

I am thinking about going with a Progress rear upgrade for my car. The front swaybar is large enough on this car, and I have a feeling just replacing the endlinks, and mounts to the frame with polyurethane ones would get the squishyness out of the front end. The problem is, there is almost no info on here about replacement parts for this task. I searched and found one topic on it, but the person who wrote it hasn't logged in in almost a year!

What I need to know is the part numbers for the correct replacement parts. I guess in all actuality, I could do this myself by finding a lift, taking the measurements, and working from there, but I would much rather just order the parts if I could. Summit racing sells all types of energy bushings. What I really want for the frame mounts is the kind without a grease port, the ones you grease when you put them on, and the endlinks just have to be the right type, although I know they will probably need to be modified slightly to fit. And I am looking for black components.

If anyone has any info on this, I would appreciate it greatly. If not, I will figure it out and post my findings, hopefully helping some of you guys out.


Thanks in advance!

have fun replacing your control arm bushings. they are a pain to take out on most cars. I think I read some guy got a set of universal energy suspension endlinks and they worked.

That's right......Do a search on "energy endlink". There are a few hits which will tell you the how to's.
