Swaybar Pivot Bush P/n ???

[Banjo]

Hi Guys,

Just rebushing the complete front end of my KE30 with SuperPro bushes, and got a front & rear kit for a good price off ebay. The kit did not include the swaybar pivot bush or the swaybar link bushes.

 

The link bushes are easy to obtain, but SuperPro do not list the Swaybar bush on their website under bushes for the KE30 to KE55. Probably because there are several diameter swaybars on these models.

 

The KE30 came with a 19mm dia. swaybar as standard. However my donor KE55 coupe has a 22mm swaybar, which I will be using instead.

 

Does anyone know off hand the SuperPro P/N for the KE55 swaybar piviot bush for a 22mm dia. swaybar ?

 

Cheers Banjo

Thanks Guys,

After starting this thread I found another thread from Evan G back in 2010 about the same subject, which was very useful.

I finished up using the Pedders 22mm D bush, cat# EPB22, which works well.

 

 

This bush fits a number of Ford, Holden, & a few Toyota Corona & Cressida models.

 

Pedders have a universal bracket/saddle for this bush, cat#4246. However I found the standard KE30/55 bush can be utilsed perfectly, with a little modification. When the Pedders EPB22 bush is pressed into the KE30/55 saddle/bracket, it squeezes it ever so slighly sideways, so the bush swaybar hole dimension is about 1mm elongated, vertically 21.8mm x 20.5mm. By opening up the bracket slightly, it fits perfectly and the bush hole is perfectly round. However the bracket/saddle mounting holes then have to be elongated/filed slightly towards the bracket so that the bracket can be bolted to the subframe. There was a small gap under the D bush of 1-2mm, when it was bolted up. You could cut a small square of flat steel or aluminium to fit under the bush to take up this gap, but I found a couple of strips of double sided tape on the bottom of the bush worked well for me.

 

You can clearly see the white strip of the tape in the photos below,
