Default Function 7 Endlinks... which swaybar bushing?

Hi.

I'm running a 23mm ITR swaybar on the rear, and the OEM endlinks can't take it, so I upgraded to Function 7 endlinks. The problem here, is the metal collar in the swaybar ends will not accept the larger Function 7 bolt, so I had to remove the sleeve, and those bushings aren't going to last long like that.

What bushing/sleeve should I use here? I searched for a few hours trying to find an answer and no luck...

I remember some of the people that have ASR subframe braces got 4 metal spacers for the bars, is that the kind of thing you're looking for? I'm not sure if it'll fit the function-7 endlinks, but I hope so as I'm going that route in a couple of weeks.

Did you already buy them? I have a pair I want to get rid of since they didn't work with my stock sway.

i use function 7 arms and endlinks
however i cut off the end of the sway bar where the bushing goes, and welded a 3/16" plate to the sway bar with 3 holes in it for adjustability.

now i just use the proper size bolt along with a few spacers and it works excellent for the last 16 months

Yea, they are already installed. I just know those swaybar bushings will be killed.

Function7 now makes a bushing for the OEM style swaybars, as shown below:





They are new and will be on the site in a bit, but if you need them, let me know.
