Default Sway Bar Bushing kit for GLT

Hi Everyone,

My 850 just started making something like a sqeak-squak sound that only occurrs in motion and uneven road (like a dirt road). I examnied it and it appears that my PS sway bar bushing is worn out.

I have looked around on-line for a replacement part, but cannot seem to pin point which one to use. When I plug in my car on FCP nothing comes up under 850 GLT.

I would appreciate any advice as to where I can purchase a set of replacement parts.

Thanks in advance!

If it's the stock front sway bar the rubber bushings are bonded to the bar and need to be cut and or burnt off the bar.

I went with energy suspension replacements on mine.
That isn't a picture of my install.

The above pic is my car! LOL. It was not that tough of a job if you have good access to it like i had but I'm not sure how it would be otherwise.

Thank you, Gentlemen for the coments. The bar is stock and I was afraid that what you say about them being bonded would be the case. From the image, it looks like kkarasch dropped the subframe? or is it still on the car kinda hanging? This is one fix I am not looking forward to!

I have the parts but it's too cold to tackle it just yet. My understanding is the sway bar needs to come out to do it properly.
