Where can I get Poly-Graphite Bushings?
Off the top of my head, I will only need the sway bar bushings and end links. I want poly-graphite due to the lack of squeak many have noticed with them. Also, where can I get the bolts and washers. I know Spohn sells new bolts but they seem really expensive... is the hardware available elsewhere? I was thinking I would get the TDS 36mm front sway bar bushing kit, but where can I get poly-graphite front and rear end links and rear bushings?

A sway bar end link kit comes with the end link bolts. The bolts to bolt it to the rear end are u-bolts, find those at a muffler shop.
Which other bushings (and bolts) did you have in mind?
p-s-t is a good source for sure.

I had poly-graphite bushings everywhere on my S-10, I think they squeak more then my Camaro, which has all polyurethane bushings, or rods ends.
Maybe I was the exception, because I went with poly-graphite bushings because I heard they didn't squeak as much as polyurethane. Boy was I disappointed.

PST is a great place to get your parts from. I got all my bushings through them. I also ordered some Hotchkiss Sway bars while I was at it. The poly bushings only seem to squeak when I go over speed bumps and the like. I don't notice any squeaking in daily driving otherwise.

Re: Where can I get Poly-Graphite Bushings?
All I can find on PST.com is the bushings... where are the endlinks?
What size bolt do I need for the panhard bar and lower control arms? Could I just buy a stainless steel bolt from Menards or something instead of spending $11 on 2 zinc coated bolts from spohn?

Re: Where can I get Poly-Graphite Bushings?
you need grade 8, metric grade 10.9 bolts. the panhard bolt is a step bolt, good luck finding one. As for the control arm bolts, they are regular bolts, metric, 12mm i think.

According to this website I thought PSC (performance suspension Components) was better than PST (Performance Suspension Technology). They both sell poly graphite
