Default Sway Bar Bushings

Does anyone know when the Diazen Sway Bar Bushings are going to be available for the 90-94 LS400s?

I'm trying to decide if I should buy Lexus OEM rear sway bar bushings ($60) or wait until these come out. Diazen said they were going to be available in September 04!

hello, for my 96 the energy part # is 9-5162G for the front ,the diameter of the front sway bar is 1 1/16 in or 27 mm and 9-5153G for the rear, the diameter of the sway bar is 9/16 in or 14 mm,,these are greaseable bushings,with zerk fitting for greasing it out, you got to modify a lttle bit for the front but for the rear its direct bolt on, i think RA40 (mike) has some pix for his ( mine is different ),

Pretty sure, 9mm! I took a wrench and tightened it on the sway bar then removed it and measured it.

Are you measuring the swaybar and not the endlink ?.............your bar should be 19mm which is close to 3/4 of an inch...............thats what I measured on persian451's car and I installed the Engery Bushings.

Mike-

Was looking at our data for the parts:

1 1/16" front bar part number is: ...............9-5162
9/16" rear bar part number is: .....................9-5153

Both of us listed the rear bar as 5/8" but the part # for 9/16" Sorry for the confusion guys.

You want the 9/16" diameter.
