Does anyone know the part numbers for this as well as where to get them?

Asking here, in the event something better than camskill shows up. :)

Cheers.

Yeap, found them using search, so decided to put all in one little thread. :)

BTW, do you know the diameter for the front sway bar?
Emailed Fulcrum and they told me to get from WA suspension, but they need the diameter as well.

I am guessing 16mm?

Else you will find, if you put poly bushes in places that connect to rubber bushes, you will tear those rubber bushes to pieces. The stiffness & rebound rate of all bushes on a connecting shaft or joint must be the same or the weakest link will fail - hence I have to sort these droplinks out....
Oh bummer, is that partially why my original front bush died?

Had some poly bushes fitted on the rear suspension when we replaced the following:
KYB gas excel g shocks
rear OE short dog bone
rear trailing arm poly bushes
Also:
rear OE droplinks(fitted about a month earlier)
front OE droplinks(fitted about a month earlier)

Depends on the suspension 'circuit' of bushes being replaced. In the case of the front swaybar, there are only 2 bushes in the 'circuit' - therefore just replacing the 2 in poly will be ok.

Droplinks are droplinks, nothing much to worry about there, but when you say "rear trailing arm poly bushes" you mean the front, rear trailing arm control bush? The one that the rear arm hinges from?

I dunno about less than $20 payaya, that's actually quite a large bush. I bought mine from Auto One & they were about $70 from memory.
