Default Skunkworks and ASR brace (part 2/update)...

Hey guys,

First, just wanna say thanks to everyone for all the suggestions in the original thread...

So now that we've pretty much established a conclusion that my Skunkworks bar needs to be laid to rest in order to use the ASR brace, I've purchased all the parts needed for the ITR bar, pieced by piece (endlinks, endlink bushings, collars, bolts, etc.).

And seeing as this topic has been done to death, I'll just ask a very specific question: What exactly is the correct part # for Energy Suspension's bushing/bracket set?

I'm pretty sure it's 95158 (22mm/universal/greasable). But I've also came up with a 95108 (I think this is the non-greasable?).

I am looking for the greasable set, but the slots on those brackets seem like overkill, while the non-greasable bracket seems like a better fit. Length between center points of the mounting holes on ASR brace are 2 5/8".

Appreciate it if any of you who are using ES bushings can chime in on this....

PS. I just found out that ITR bushings are much stiffer than the regular OE bushings, making aftermarket bushings less relevant. Had I known, I would've just ordered them along with the rest of the other components. But since my order's been processed, I'd have to repay the min. ship charge just for the ITR set, making them the same, if not more expensive than the ES set....fuhgettaboddit!

Cheers (mmmm, Stella...),

I believe they make 2 bracket/bushing sizes for each sway bar size, with a different range of bolt spacing that will fit the slotted holes on the bracket. Just look at their diagram to see which will fit the best. I have the greasable bushings on my 22mm ITR bar, but I couldn't tell you which one I used.

Also if you have the stock muffler, you'll need a right-angle fitting adapter for your grease gun in order to access the right bushing's grease fitting.
