Sway bar bushing size for RB bar

and1 · Postby **and1** » Tue Feb 27, 2018 6:36 pm

Hey all,

I got a RB 1.125" tubular sway bar for my SE a long time ago and only having time to consider putting it on now. However I seem to have lost the bushings and saddles/brackets. Anyone know the bushing dimensions? ID is kinda obvious but dimensions like OD that sits in saddle and width of bushing would help as I'm looking for direct replacements through Superpro. Also is the RB saddle larger in dimension at all?

I could get under the car but I'm a little lazy at the moment and this might help others.

TIA

I have a RB sway sitting on my bench, I'll try and get to it and measure it and the bushes tomorrow. Might even take a picture, but you can probably get that from the RB site.

Does it matter what the specs are? If you go to a company like Superpro and ask for bushes, they'll know the bushes sizing specs. They only wanna know what diameter to make the hole for the swap bay to fit in.

Only problem with this is that they only list up to a 27mm ID. The tubular RB bars are 1.125" which is around 28.5 mm. So instead of getting them to make custom ones, I wanna see if any of their universal bushings get close and for that I need the other dimensions. Also I feel that this would also help others whom have the NA or NB RB tubular bars.

Also the process would take much longer for custom ones as you would have to get in contact with their R&D or eng departments. Sales department tend to struggle with inquiries outside their scope.

Sorry, no. I have everything but the bushes and mounting blocks, they seem to have done a runner on me :frown:

Still looking, they must be around because I had two complete sets of bars, mounting kit and stiffeners.

Finally had a chance to get under the today.. I also found my bushings, however the provided brackets are of the wrong size. Anyone know where you can get just the saddle brackets?
