Default 00 LS400 sway bar bushing: same front and rear?

My mechanic says I need new front sway bar bushings for my 2000 LS400.

On Ebay, I see lots of rear sway bar bushings, but absolutely no front sway bar bushings for my car.

Should I just get the rear bushings / does F vs R make a difference on this part?

Many, many thanks.

The diameter of the sway bar in the front is greater than in the rear. The bushings F/R are different. I checked parts.com and the cost of an OEM front bushing for a 2000 LS is $14.59 and the rear bushing is $10.03...

the MOOG #90543 fits the front of your LS
and MOOG #90544 fits thr rear
Autozone or O'riley... they match the OEM bushings and are cheap. they are not a critical item anyway..
cheers

I took the #90544 to my mechanic for my '98 and he said they won't fit the rear.
