so i ordered es and moog bushings, ball joints, end links and es sway bar bushings. I found that the sway bar bushings do not fit my 99 SE they are the 20mm ones from ES has anyone had this problem and what size is it since this is what they list for the 99 max. thanks

i cant remember what size es bushing i bought but i had to custom weld brackets for them to fit. ES doesnt make (as far as i found) oem replacement bushing for our car.

those are the ones that i got but they didnt fit. i think they might be the wrong ones in the package because they dont look like the ones in the pic

i didnt think es made OEM bushings for the max.

the stock brackets are small and kind of at an angle

Well, as far as input - I have just Installed (yesterday) Prothane Frame Mount Brackets & Bushings since I had a fubar Torn-Ripped Bracket. I measured them, and dry fitted them before installing and, I recall there was a 1 mm variance. Sure its for designed movement and room for grease. Anyways Yes on my 1998 max gxe I have a 20mm sway bar, with 20 mm bushings. Did you measure the bushings you have bought? have you measured your sway bar? It sounds You are right and have received the incorrect size bushing.

the bushing actually says on it that it is a 3/4 and i didnt measure the sway bar. But the picture on the site is different, and so was the bushings that i compared them to at autozone. im going to see what the vendor says and see if they send me a replacement, ill let you guys know how it goes.

Part number stamped on the bushings is 5499.
