Greasable 36mm front swaybar bushing sets available!!
Hey guys. I just wanted to let all of you know that finally we have greasable 36mm front swaybar bushings available for our cars. One of our own, Lon Salgren (lonsal) at Top Down Solutions has developed the brackets and bushings seen below. The bushings are also available in 32 and 34mm for the other front bars. These are very high quality and sharp looking. The finish on these things is great! The brackets are modified factory brackets so there's no fit problems like some of the ES brackets have. I highly recommend them.

No. The bushings are Guldstrand Motorsports Poly-Graphite. I do more than drill a hole through the bushing to modify it. I also cut 3 circumferential grooves and a X-pattern for the grease to flow around the sway bar. Also I sell the kit in 3 versions: Version 1) 200170-32, -34 & -36 priced at $39.50. The dash no indicatates the sway bar diameter the bushing is designed for. This version includes the modified Guldstrand Motorsports Poly-Graphite bushings. Version 2) 200170-CB priced at $18.50. This version allows the customer to send in their bushings for modification. Version 3) 200170-NB priced at $13.50. This version includes brackets only, no bushings. I will include instructions on how to modify your bushings. I also have a version (p/n 205170) for the 1982 model year F-Bodies. I know anyone out here can do this themselves. Heck, I've had them on my car for over 3 years now. But until now no one made a kit that would accomodate our cars. Now you have it available. The Energy Suspension greasable front bushing kit is a "Universal-Fit" kit and won't work on our 1983-92 staggered bolt mount pattern without major modification. The straight pattern slots on the ES brackets would work on a 1982 F-Body, but the slots have a lot more chance for the bracket to move. Check the link to Guldstrand Motorsports for more info on the bushings: http://www.guldstrand.com/

Very cool, Lon! I'll take one of the 36 mm kits, for sure - let me know where to mail a check.

I can drill a hole and screw in a Zerk fitting too!
It's worth it to me. If it's not for you, so be it. Plus, they're coated and all, much nicer than I could have done with the time I had and what I wanted. Plus, he's a member.
