Bought a sway bar! :)

Sooo, I just bought a used sport coupe sway bar, comes with end links and bushings, but is missing one of the brackets. Will my AWD bracket fit? Do I need to replace the bushings? Thanks!

EDIT: just got it today. It's missing the brackets. Contacted the seller and is sending them out as a correction to their mistake.

Hopefully you bought both front and rear sway bars. I can't sway for certain about the brackets, but the easiest way to tell for sure is to compare it to your bracket and see if its identical. If I were you, I would replace them with Energy Suspension poly bushings but it is not absolutely necessary.

I happened to get a deal on just the rear sway bar. I couldn't pass it up even though the front wasn't available for sale. Hopefully my AWD bracket fits. I will definitely compare them and will post back for future info for references.

I have done the rear sway bar swap. The RWD rear sway bar is thicker than the AWD sway bar so you need the bushings for the RWD sway bar. The brackets are the same size those and the bushings will slip right in.

They are the same, so I left my stock ones installed since my car is a 2013. I would just use the newer of the two.

The front's shape is different from the rear's. And the front is also much thicker than the rear.......(I'm walking into this one...)
