I bought a rear sway bar a year or so and installed it per instructions which
included securing the ends to the rear sway bar through the center of the
spring hole with a long bolt and several large washers. I have since noted
that the ends of the sway bar move around quite a bit and it looks like some
type of bushing is needed to fill the hole from the outside of the bolt to the
inside of the spring hole. A friend who has a machine shop has offered to make
one for me from a round piece of teflon. Is there some reason that the
manufacturer didn't provide a bushing for this piece besides the "cheaper"
reason. Is this a reasonable addition to improve the performance of the
swaybar or will a piece of this sort restrict the movement of the sway bar? Is
such a part already available out there? TIA.
