[Shotimes] Rear Sway Bar bushing questions

[Ron Porter]

If I did it on a regular basis, it would take a fraction of that, even with
only one jack and 4 jackstands for keeping two cars in the air!  9-year-old
bolts/nuts that haven't been touched since they left the factory are
especially fun, also!!

Note to self: Gotta spend the $$$ for a good impact wrench that actually has
some cajones!!  $30 for the Campbell-Hausfeld was not money well-spent (in
hindsight!!!......although is was my first when I bought my first
compressor).

??? What do you mean by "center to center"??

I have a link in the garage. It is 11 1/4" overall, and 5 11/16" from the
inner bushing-stop to bushing-stop.

I don't see where a different length link would change the ride height, it
will just change the position of the bar WRT the strut mounting point.

subframe bushings, and brake proportioning valves between two SHOs!)

End links:

Is the factory kit 9.5" center to center?

If so, and since the car is sitting lower, I am thinking of using a 9" kit
instead.  The company I am ordering from has 9" or 10" kits.

Body bushings:
Moog has the proper 26MM bushing.
TRW is 25MM max.
ES sucks.
Ford no longer lists the factory part for the 26mm bar.
PST lists a poly-graphite.

I just ordered the PST bushings.

Suggestions on the End links?

Thanks!
