KOZ Posted April 9, 2010 Report Share Posted April 9, 2010 Hello all. I have had a "squishing" noise out of my rear sway bar for some time now. I took into the dealer and, after 2 months of back and forth with Shelby; the part is not covered under any warranty. The dealer said that noise in performance suspension parts is normal and I will have to live with it. Well, I don't want to "live with it". Does anyone know where to purchase the rear sway bar bushings without the swaybar kit? Thanks, Joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kahmann Posted April 9, 2010 Report Share Posted April 9, 2010 ^You ought to be able to purchase them directly from a Ford Racing dealer. It's a Ford Racing part. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The dealer I bought the car from is a Ford Racing center, but they said that the bushings are not sold seprately; they would have to purchase the entire upgrade kit just for the bushings. This is why neither Ford or Shelby will warranty it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kahmann Posted April 9, 2010 Report Share Posted April 9, 2010 ^How on earth is that possible?! Man, I don't know what to tell you. Hopefully someone knows where to find a replacement bushing. Good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blewbuyyou Posted April 9, 2010 Report Share Posted April 9, 2010 the Ford Racing way bar is made by eibach maybe that helps you a little Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speedyburd33 Posted April 9, 2010 Report Share Posted April 9, 2010 That sucks you can't just get the bushings. I would think that would be a common part to reorder without buying the whole kit. Maybe Eibach could help you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mywickedshelby Posted April 9, 2010 Report Share Posted April 9, 2010 I had the same problem and Village Ford in Ridgewood NJ lubed it under warranty....the squeeking went away for 3 months. While the car was recently at Tasca, I brought the same issue to their attention, lubed again at n/c.........so far no sqeeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilmor Posted April 9, 2010 Report Share Posted April 9, 2010 The noise is to be expected, as per the Shelby manual....however, I would think that you would be able to find standard rubber bushings for that application...hopefully. I'm lucky...my hearing is not the best so I doubt I would ever notice!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilmor Posted April 9, 2010 Report Share Posted April 9, 2010 Dumb question ... maybe if you just squirt some WD-40 around there.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
