adapting flat-sided swaybar bushings
adapting flat-sided swaybar bushings
assuming no polyurethane bushings are available in the oval MB shape, i am leaning towards cutting and drilling some 3/16" steel bar for backing plates to these.... unless someone thinks there is a better approach.

sorry for 2nd thread on topic, i was telling a story in the other one which in retrospect, didn't help.

i have these Energy Suspension polyurethane swaybar bushings which i want to use with this W123 wagon sway bar here. i guess swaybars in american cars hold up against a flat surface - the manufacturer's technical contact was stumped when i told him there was a concavity behind the bushing. mocking up the fit, it looks like the bar would sit at just about the same position, but the bushing itself would be loose in back.
