ive come across a progress rear sway bar for next to nothing, problem is i have no hardware. I can easily source some nuts, bolts, and washers. I assume that i can use any bushings/mounts (probably ES) provided the sway bar is snug in there? i dont see why not. How about the u bolts? are these the same as exhaust clamps found in auto parts stores. and maybe bolt the bushings to the back of them? The only other thing i have no idea on would be the other bracket that mounts to the trailing arm. Anyone have any suggestions on that? just trying to find out if this hardware is generic hardware that can be sourced from somewhere other than progress themselves, Like an autoparts store for the bushings and u bolts and maybe Home depot for the trailing arm brackets. if so, this could turn out to be quite a deal, if not i may not even bother with it. any suggestions?

Here are some pictures of the hardware included in my Progress RSB kit I sold, hopefully they'll be of some help:

Call progress or cattman and see if you can just purchase the hardware

Hey that looks like all the stuff I just put on my max. Now the car feels how it should have came stock. Just need to get some lube, white grease isn't cutting it. The u-bolt and plate setup that goes on the beam would be easy to replicate but the trailing arm brackets are more involved. Too bad I already installed all this or I would have taken measurements for you.

I doubt any hardware store is gonna have all this stuff ready for ya. You're probably gonna have to bend and cut some brackets and polyurethane. It's gonna be a PITA all that fabrication so +1 on contacting cattman or progress.

On the other hand you might wanna reconsider installing this at all. I have it on my i30s and it makes the chassis creak in turns and over bump and uneven ground. Maybe it's bad for your car, iono.

You should be able to find that stuff, minus the bushings at any hardware store. It is nothing complicated. I believe the diam of the U-bolts needs to be roughly 3". The two side clamps you will have to rig up/cut. I would take a picture of that to a hardware store and see what they say

That's your sway bear creaking because you didn't put any or enough lube on the bushings. I used white grease on mine but a few days later I started to hear the infamous creaking too. I'm going to find some specific lube for it and lube it up real nice.
