Dorman - OE Solutions Suspension Stabilizer Bar Bushing Kit P/N:540-542
Help keep your sway bar mounted securely and quiet with the Dorman stabilizer bar bushing kit, part number 540-290, which holds the bar at its front-to-frame mounting point. It fits many vehicles, among them the 1976-1987 Chevrolet Chevette, 1984-1987 Pontiac Fiero and 1981-1987 Pontiac T1000. See the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list.
Sway bar bushings clamp the bar to the vehicle's frame. They cushion the bar and let it pivot as the suspension moves, so the bar can do its job of helping control body roll. If worn or deteriorated bushings are behind a clunk, a rattle or a loose feel over bumps, this Dorman kit replaces them.
Position: front, to frame.
