stabilizer bushings

[schnell944]

hey guys. had to remove the stabilizer to get the alternator out the other day. Looking at the bushings, the round ones located on either end of the bar look alright, but the two half circle bushings that are more inward on the bar aren't as good. I am wondering if there is anyplace I can order just these bushings. BavAuto just sells sets. Also, is it alright just to replace thse two, or do you recommend replacing them all? thanks

im not looking for those round ones that come in fours but the two bushings that sandwich the bar between the clamp and the frame.

I do not know where you can find them seperately.

Yes, and here are the part numbers:

front: 31 35 4 454 010

rear: 33 55 1 103 492

Looks like list price is under $5 each.

If you have bigger aftermarket bars, you will probably have to buy a whole set.

I have found that a common kerf cut to the stock busings will accomodate bigger bars. Obviously, the bushings will be rendered somewhat useless if you ever plan on reinstalling the smaller diameter bar.

what size is the stock bar? pretty sure mine is stock, but as I just got the car, I'd like to measure and make sure. mine doesnt look too beefy, so it's probably the stocker.

btw, does anyone know where to get the poly version of those bushings? all the places I've found just sell the 8 links together? Bill? thanks!
