Front Poly Sway Bar Bushings?

[jrd48]

So Far I haven't been able to find front poly bushings for my 2004 F53 with a 1.5" bar. The ebay guy only lists rear bushings. Does anyone know if the rear bushings for early F53's with a 1.5" bar will fit my late F53 1.5" front bar? I was wondering if the overall dimensions of the bushings are the same.

Check here for sizes Moog Suspension Parts .com then order the part number from Amazon.com. I just did this, and the Amazon price was less than from Moog.

Thanks George. Unfortunately the Moog site doesn't list any parts for my year F53 and their universal sway bar bushings don't go big enough.

I got some 1.5" bushings (front sway bar) from Hellwig (?). Best part was they were free and it was for a older IDA swaybar on my P-30.

Yeah you need to be careful. I followed one of their (Moog's) usage menus, got to F53 motorhome application. Ordered them and they were poly but 1" diameter.

My front sway bar (1996) actually measures 1.625, careful measurement using digital calipers.

I ordered the rears from e-bay, somewhere I picked up he was going to tool the fronts.

FWIW. I gave up finding the correct poly bushing for the front and ordered new ones direct from Ford via fordparts.com. They arrived today and they are poly bushings. Were cheaper than the ebay guy too.

Do you know the ford part number for the front sway bar bushings for the 1998 460 v8 f 53? Thank you.

No I don't know the part number. Just go to Official Ford Parts Site | Buy Motorcraft & OEM Ford Parts Online | FordParts.com, enter your VIN, and look up the part.
