When I owned my 3rd gen (89 SE) I got a package of sway bar end link bushings from suspension tech. I never put them on the car before I sold it. I now have a 97 SE and am wondering if I could just put these on the 97. They look like they are the same, but I just want to double check.

Here is a picture of the location on the car:


One more thing. In the above picture, there is a part that has a 90 degree elbow. The verital portion of it goes through the bushings and anti-sway bar, while the horizontal portion of the piece goes through the control arm. Is this also interchangable between the 3rd and 4th generation? I'm asking because I have one and figured I might as well sell it if it is not, or use it if it is.
TIA!

was wondering how hard are the end-link bushings and sway bar bushings to replace?

 

end link bushings are not too hard to replace. Take off the wheel. Caliper and rotor too if you want, but you don't need to. The hardest part is where you need a bar for leverage to pry the sway bar up just enough to slide the lower bushing off, hold it up, and slide the new one on.
So does anyone know if theyre the same? I guess I could try it out, but how would I know if theyre incorrect (if they fit)?

 

anyone know the answer?

 

im hoping someone will be able to answer this. please???

 

ive never bumped a post this many times. i know someone has to have experience with 3rd & 4th gens enough to know about the bushing sizes.
