stabilizer bushings....again

[1chrisapple]

Well if u were to weld a couple washers onto the braket were foes on stud then it wouldnt be able to move then

They don't move anyway. We've had multiple cars running this setup for years with zero issues (and we don't drive like Grandmas). Just tighten the nuts to (at least) the torque spec and you'll be fine.

Here you go Jerry. Basically you're just looking for a backing plate to bridge the stamped arch and give the ES bushing a flat surface to mount against. Drill 2 holes for the factory studs and you're in business. I used a cheap 400 series stainless for these because it just happened to be the correct width, so all I had to do was cut it to length and drill the holes.

Sorry the pics are a little blurry.

What is the part number on those?

[Zanzer]

Honestly, I do not remember because I installed these 2 years ago. I measured the bar diameter with my digital calipers and bought a universal set for that diameter. 7/8" seems to come to mind...I know Will (Motoxpress) just bought a set, I'll hit him up and see if he remembers the part number or still has the packaging.

I checked Rear Counter for a part with the same base but for all Festiva and Aspire, "BZ-5495-". Unfortunately, there is nothing available from E8 to F7. Most of the stock is for E1BZ-5495-D. a Capri or Fairmont.

^^ Thanks Navdoc! I sent Will a text asking the part number but still waiting for a response.



Sweet, it was 7/8". I guess my memory isn't too bad since I measured the bar 2 years ago LOL
