Hi guys I am currently replacing my ball joints and sway bar link bushes, as they are totally destroyed. I am finding it hard to determine which is the right replacement part. Partly due to the bushes that where removed from car are two diferent types. Looked at Super Pro and nolathane sites but cannot determine which is right one. One is a single bush with pin looks not too bad, the other side had two bushes totally destroyed. Can you upload pics on here? As I can post a pic of the sway bar link, if needed. The chasis mount rubbers are all good, just the ones that connect the sway bar to the control arm. There seems to be another bush below that on a bracket but that seems good. Thanks in advance need to get it up and running before weekend.

Hi guys no luck bought the nolathane 42459's and they dont fit through the hole on the sway bar. I think i need the 2 bushes one o each side type but agin no luck in fi ding them i saw the nolathane 24 mm ones but they look a bit lo g looms lime the sway bar would be sliding from one side to the other o the bush itself. Can someone have a look under their car and check if the sway bar is a tight fit between the bracket. Got my ball joints i with no drama except for having to go grab a ball joint separator as could not get em out by bashing them. Lol few swear words were flyi g around in my garage. Appreciate any help thanks. I am looming akso on the super pro suspe sion site but again not having any luck cheers boys

Sorry my fault tried again tonight, dumb arse me was trying to insert bushes with pin in them. Apologies for spelling on last post done on my iphone whilst under the car. My issue is still that the sway bar looks like it can slide on the bush about 15mm on each side is this normal or should it be a tight fit within the bracket please have a look under another subi for me.
Thanks
