Familyride, would you happen to have the part numbers for the Bushings? I'm ready to put them on.

Well, the one's I ordered were Energy Suspension part number 4.5173G. However, that's for the 2 wheel drive. I searched back to see if I could find the 4 wheel drive part number becasue they actually shipped those to me by mistake the first time. Ironicly, jmartinb ordered some for his 4 wheel drive and got the ones I returned!

I'd call Summit Racing or someone else and have them check the part number for the 4x4. That's where I ordered mine from. They are special order and mine took about 4-5 weeks. I don't think anyone stocks them. They're not that much either, about $30.

Just FYI, dbunch posted this way back when after I installed them and didn't know where to torque them too.

Stabilizer bar link nut to stabilzer bar (15-20 ft-lbs)
Stabilzer bar retainer bracket to frame (19-26 ft-lbs)

Good luck with them.

 

Thanks for the info. I'll probably just call Summit and order what they come up with. Not in that big of a hurry.

 

Go to Energy Suspension web site and i'll show you the #s for the 4x4 bushings. Based on Family Rides reported success with the bushings, i plan on ordering them too. I have a 4x4, did a search and found what I needed...but the part numbers are at work. Sorry.

 

No problem, I'll go there site and get them.

Thanks

Lou

 

HDLouie-

The installation was very straightfoward, taking about 30 minutes. Based upon the discussion here, I'm half-tempted to remove the OEM front bar and upgraded bushing to install the Hellwig replacement. Still thinking about it...

Good luck with your upgrade.

Where did you purchase your bushing from?

 

HDLouie-
I order them from Summit Racing. In fact, I got Family Ride's set of bushings! Summit sent him the bushings for a 4x4 Expy, instead of the 2x4 that he needed. He returned them and Summit in turn shipped them to me. Ride decribed the pre-opened package to a "T". Very funny.
