energysuspension.com | Sway Bar & End Link Bushings

I wasn't referring to subrfame bushings, but greasable sway bar bushings and brackets. Order the ones that correspond to the size of the Eibach sway bars.

 

The best solution are zerks, but the eibach poly bushings are ribbed (for his pleasure) on the inside and will hold a good amount of the really thick silicone stuff for a long time before needed relube. IMO its not that hard to unbolt the brackets and relube but its a personal preference thing.

Dug around and identified the Eibach bushings as solid poly, like the ES. Didn't know about the ribs, but I see what you're talking about now... the inner-diameter of the bushing are threaded, not smooth. That's fascinating.

You know, I'm good to go with these bushings, OEM brackets, and a re-grease in a couple of years.

Thanks, guys.

 

I'm sure the bushings ARE es.... They supply for a lot of manufacturers.

 

lol@ash.

I was surprised at the ribbing, too, as i went in thinking about running the dremel to it a few times to create pockets. I've used AMSOIL #2 synthetic grease and that stuff goes nowhere. Sometimes i wonder why i even bother adding more grease... other than to find an excuse to be in the garage and get under the car.

For added "hold" i also wrap the bar covered by the bushing with plumber's tape before packing with grease. I recently only added the tape to the front bar, but have had the rear bars with it + grease for a little over a year now without squeaking. Haven't changed or touched it since install.

 

Of course you guys know that Ash sent me the Eibach bushings with the bars, and let me tell you, he was more than liberal with the grease. A little too generous, if you ask me. It's less like he coated the inner-diameter, and more like he dipped the damn things.

What can I say, Rochester- my woman trained me well.

 

Here it is: Energy Suspension 9.11104 Formula 5 Prelube 8oz. Tub

 

Yep. Pretty sure that's what they come with from Eibach too. The little tube is what was in the package. Like I said, ES OEMs/subcontracts for a lot of other aftermarket manufacturers.

 

KW V1 with Eibach Sways, Front set to first hole rear set to middle! Best setup for the G!

 

I'm happy enough using the local Infiniti Dealership for swapping tires winter & summer, so I thought I'd give them a shot, and inquiry about having them swap the sway bars while there next month. They're fine with the work, but were asking $220+ for the effort.

Um, what? And then I politely declined. LOL

Although Ash here would likely do it for the cost of a decent bottle of Cabernet, I have access to a trusted street/pro mechanic who would certainly have me in and out in under an hour.

 

I agree- that's highway robbery!!

And yes, I would definitely help you out for a bottle of wine, but I'm a cheap date...

 

Monro put on mine for $150.

pretty reasonable i would say. me no has lift, so was worth it.

 

Installing sway bars on the G is very easy provided you have a set of ramps and a basic set of hand tools. The hardest part was disconnecting the exhaust mid-pipes from the mufflers .

 

And on the sedan you don't even need to do that. As i mentioned earlier in this thread, all I needed to do was loosen two muffler clamps on only one side of the exhaust system to drop the pipes enough to get clearance. Didn't need to break any seals in the exhaust system itself. Remember that the sedan doen't use a single transverse muffler like the coupe does.
