Asr sway bar and brace question

[carbondc2]

I have a asr swaybar and subframe brace setup on my integra and the bushings that come with the kit keep becoming loose and falling out of the c clamps that hold them in.maybe it's bc of the screwed up roads here in pa but I was wondering if anybody else had the same issue?

You mean the sway bar bushings correct? If the problem persists i would entertain the idea of putting stop collars on either end to keep it from happening, maybe with a rubber type washer so it doesnt make noise.

or replace with prothane bushings


$15

Maybe the poly bushings are the way to go..thanks man

[stillhere153]

they work

:toocool:

^ prothane or energy have flares at the end where asr supplied bushings don't

I thought they already had poly bushings...

[carbondc2]

I thought so too about them being poly.they do have the flair at the end of them but after about 50-60 miles on them they get shook loose and I'm able to move my sway bar up and down about a inch...I was thinking about epoxying them on the sway bar itself so they would stay put.any ideas about that?

These look like the exact bushings I have

[stillhere153]

you've got left? which is flare 1 side, prothane and energy flare both sides

bushings on the right


double flared

ps. epoxy won't hold them guarantee first turn pop loose

so they only have that lip on one side? no wonder they work out... i would go with the energy ones if they have a lip on both sides. I think autozone stocks energy stuff, i sorta recall walking into the one in York the other day and seeing some on the shelf.

I believe they are cheaper on amazon/ebay with free ship, and you don't have to hunt down the proper size... asr bar also what is it 24mm? doubt azone stock that big

[Boardorgohome]

Just a suggestion to save time, like i said i'm not positive but its worth a try.
