F53 - 38mm (1.496 inch) Rear Sway Bar Bushes

[johnsandywhite]

I have surfed the net for 2 days and travelled to several Bus/Truck spare parts companies here in the UK trying to find a pair of 38mm (1.496 inch) Rear Sway Bar Bushes for our 1996 Newmar Mountain Aire 37.5ft based on the Ford F53 460 chassis. Can anyone point me to where I can buy them?
Energy Suspension ® X-Treme Duty Components support suitable ones for Winnebago, Dodge, John Deere & Others which are Common replacements in motor homes. But I cannot find a supplier on-line.
I am just looking for the Bushes. They are a 'D' shape (disappeared from my sway bars) bush with a sway bar diameter measured with calipers at 37.9mm which is 1.492 125 984 inches. I have emailed the Energy systems company for 2 days with no answers on a company to supply the ones they make for the Winnebago and Dodge etc which are 1 7/16 or 1 5/8. The 1 7/16 works out at 1.4375 inches and the 1 5/8 works out at 1.625. So the closest would be the 1 7/16.

Hi N8XV. That is the ones I have been trying to source. No one is answering my email request for supply.

After some searching and emails, it looks like you can get your bushings here: Bushings Just select Ford and go from there. Sure hope this helps.

Added note, a member of another forum said the Ford part # is F81Z-5493-EA from a Ford dealer.

Hi N8XV. I have already been in touch with Roadmaster and also with Hendersons :- http://www.hendersonslineup.com/services.htm who can provide the full kit. I would prefer to just buy the 1 1/2 inch bushes. But Hendersons provide the Full bushing kit for around $94. I may have to go with that. Many thanks for your help. Happy RV'ing.
