need part number- front sway bar parts.

One of the metal brackets that wraps around the sway bar and ties to the control arm is broken on my 92. Only the I/C 1st gens used the front sway bar , but all i can find listed is the bushing that goes inside the bracket. One MOST brands of trucks/cars and they call these and 'end lenk kit'. anyone havea part number from ANY manufacturer on these. thanx. crossy

I just did mine and still have the packages. The insulators are 03879212 and the links are 04036005. This for a 4wd model. They are all that cheap.. like 18.00 a pc I think!!

The bushings and straps for the frame are NLA and I had to get some from Energy but when I took my bushings off my bar the bar was so thin I had to down size the bushing. So if you need them you have to do it aftermarket. I plan on crossover steer so I won't have my sway bar on for very long!!

Tie rods also

while i'm begging- lol
I'm also having trouble finding the stock LONG style inner tie rod ends. everything I'm finding is much shorter in the threaded area and would require a MUCH longer sleeve in the middle to make up the difference. I only need the one inner so i dont want to change everything. thanx , crossy

Fibrestar was that the number for the sway bar END LINKS that are on the very end of the sway bar?? not the ones that hold it down. I couldn't find any listing with NAPA.
I need these things bad now. Just got the whole front suspension/steering rebuilt.

Its the metal piece that is rotted off and is supposed to go up and wrap around the rubber insulator that is on the sway bar.

Dad found it! The part numbers the other guys gave is for the retainer washers and insulators, but we need the actual metal part. Well I found it and unfortunately they are at the obsolete warehouses already and the ONLY place i could find they want $150 for it. they can mail it out today though. NOT
I'm going to plan 'N'(nixon) first then to plan F(fabricate). thanx for the help though team. Crossy

Crossy, where did you find the bushings that wrap around the bar inside those brackets?? I'd like to replace mine as well. I'm sure they could stand it.
