ST sway bars- need greasable bushing kit

Guys, I bought the Energy greasable bushing kits for the front and rear bars for the B13. they are a general mm bar diameter size.

WELL.... the things are not direct fit and are not the same as the ST bushing size as far as the sizing to attach to the mounting points.

Does Suspension techniques offer a greasable sway bar center bushing kit for the b13 sway bars? or do I have to custom the energy kit somehow??

Thanks

Don't know about the bushings.

You should be able to order replacement bushings from ST. If not, measure the diameter of the bars, and find a kit that will fit. As for a greasable bushing, you may have to drill and remove material to create a channel for the grease and the Zerk fitting.

I have run the ST bars in the front for 10 years. the old design. The bushings were shot.

Update:

The rear is 3/8", so I bought the energy kit and installed the rear mounts. they push the bar out 1/4" from the mount. I shifted the rear mount angle at the spindle attachment and it seems to work. you have to pound the center brackets a little to get the bolts to align with the factory mount holes. it works though! They have the zerk fittings and greased up nicely. really tight now.

The front bar bushings are not replaced yet. its the old style ST bar that mounts under the control arms and humps over the exhaust and mounts stock center mounts. Should I replace this with a progress bar?
