            unaware of CA bushings.

            Rear outer sway bar bushing/bracket (have to drill out holes some): 9.5158
            rear inner you cant get from ES, you have to use brickyard monte carlo bushings (they had a 7/8" bar): 10270253

              im have an addco rear sway bar but haven't installed it yet. it seems to use 22mm bushings but i just need to find the endlinks. i'll probably just take one to an auto parts store and match something up.

                yep, 22mm or 7/8". they arent really end link per sey. my local auto zones carry 7/8" es bushings/brackets in stock as well as some other sizes. what are you going to use for the inners?

                        so, youre going to hack up your factory brackets to make them work? i would just get the brickyard 7/8" bushings. if you hack them up like in the addco instructions, they will break.

                          i haven't installed them yet but i was under the impression the 7/8 bushings would fit into the addco brackets, if not i think they came with brackets.

                            the ones they provide are in a d shape to fit in the brackets they provide. i guess you might be able to round them off with a bench grinder and get them to fit in your stock brackets. i wouldnt do what they recommend in the instructions. youll see what im talking about

                              actually, i won't i bought it used w/no instructions . i have't gotten around to installing it or the bushings yet but i am sure once i do, what you have said will probably make perfect sense to me then.
