Default sway bar brackets Q

Will the OEM brackets fit the Daizen bushings?

I went to install the bushings today but I think the previous owner must have replaced OEM with Energy. The brackets were goldish and had a zerk hole...but worse than that, they were'nt nearly deep enough for the stouter Daizens. What a pain....had to put everything back to together.

Anyway, it's good to know that the Daizen's are even thicker and bigger than the Energys. I suppose I'll get a pair of OEM's assuming they fit the Daizens.

I sure hope so and I'm counting on it. Based on all the other posts I've read, the Daizens fit the OEM brackets. My problem stems from the fact that the previous owner had already replaced the fronts with Energy Bushings and brackets. The Energy brackets are not as deep to accomodate the thicker and larger Daizen. So, I should stills see an improvement with this mod.

Daizen bushings were made for the oem sways. I put them on no problem, except they're tight as a b****. And the grease is nasty sticky stuff. Don't have anything with lint, dirt, etc anywhere near your work area cuz it will stick like glue and you must keep it very clean or dirt or particles will eat up poly bushings. I was extremely happy with mine, but took them off just today for TRD sways.
