    Dropping to mopar springs...

    Im going from stock to mopar stage 1 springs, also adding the welfare sway bar setup.
    26mm front
    19mm rear
    Im looking into purchasing new polyurethane endlinks as well as sway bar bushings.
    The energy suspension site has 2 types of greasable sway bar bushings and I do not know which is for ours?
    or

    One goes on the 26mm and the other for the 19mm. 3/4" is for the 19mm the other for the larger diameter. End link size will also differ due to the drop.

    i hope this is right for the mopar stg1 springs and new swaybars..

    Front endlinks: 5.8107

    Rear endlinks: 2 3/8" 9.8125


    Front Swaybar Bushings: for the 26mm front sway bar.
    (2) 1 1/16" / 27mm 9.5162

    Rear Swaybar Bushings: for the 19mm rear sway bar.
    (2) 3/4" / 19mm 9.5156


    Correct?

    I have a set of welfare sways/bushings sitting in my garage at home right now, with the stock front swaybar removed, so I can measure everything for you if you want. Let me know.

    Oh and FYI, before you remove the swaybars, be sure to shoot the bolts with as much PB Blaster as you can for a week or so. I broke 3 of the 4 bolts holding mine in due to them being rusted all to hell (and I'm the first owner with only 34k miles). I've had to drill out two of them and retap which has worked wonderfully, but the third has an Easy-Out broken off in the bolt, so professional intervention is probably necessary.

    Be warned!

    wow thanks for the info.

    Im trying to find out which bushing I need to buy.. I know the size but I dont know the style. As in my first post, the correct size bushing comes in either style A or style B. The website says to measure the stock one to know which one I need.

    A is 4 1/2 length
    B is 4 7/16 length

    Could you look at the first post and measure the stock one to let me know which one is the stock replacement?

    just a bit of info, i went through with this setup but the front energy suspension bushings part # listed above are no good for our car since we have a stock circular bushing and the energy suspension is a U shaped..

    take a look





    best bet is to use the bushing that comes with the pt gt as its a bit stronger than regular rubber

    use the pt cruiser/neon acr factory bushings for the sway bars, and polyurethane endlinks for your drop.
