I need to get new front sway bar bushings. They come in 22mm and 23mm. I have a 2k2 SE. I remember SEs were suppose to have a thicker swaybar. Can anyone confirm that i'd need 23mm bushings? Any recommendations on where to buy? I found ES bushings on ebay for $22 + $7 shipping.

 

Auto Zone has them for 19.99.

2002/2003 GLE GXE 22mm bushing set.

2002/2003 SE 23mm bushing set. As per energy suspension and AZ's website.

I'm about to order them too.

Rubber or urethane?

 

I'd like to replace mine, but after looking at the bushing mounts -- I'm affraid I won't be able to get them swapped without a SERIOUS hassle!

you need the 23mm. anyone who is wary of doing this swap shouldnt be changing their own oil. This was the easiest job ive done in a LONG time. looks much more difficult than it is.

 

replace them with urethane... worth the hassle and money

 

D-bushings are amazingly easy to change out but if you swap in urethane bushings, you should probably do the same to the end links (depending on design-haven't looked at the ones in my Maxima yet) or you are wasting your time.

 

I guess maybe i'm just intimidated by the huge bolts and the lack of space to maneuver around that area.
If anybody has the toque specs for the sway-bar bushings AND the end links, that'd be appreciated as well -- while we're at it.

no worries then - I should be able to handle it! Thanks for the confidence booster boys!

I've never used a torque wrench when tightening the bolts for the D-bushings or end links, I just make sure they are tight. Never had a problem with them loosening up.

 

Thanks everyone! I ended up buying from Ebay. Tried AZ, it wouldn't let me order it online.
