After a lot of hunting, and a whole lot of seeming confusion in the Ford dealership parts departments, I finally found the rear stabilizer bar bushings that I need for my 94 Ford Chassis. Everyone kept tring to sell me the end links which I do not need. These to "chunks of rubber" cost $ 100 plus shipping. Did I get taken? This was not through Ford (who was lost as a snowflake in a blizzard)but an independent RV suspension company. I've goten these for cars and trucks before at around 25 bucks. I know, if you gotta have it you gotta pay it, but that seemed a little steep to me.

No justification but I have found small demand because of age = higher price. Check out the price for a carb for a 57 T-Bird

Machman: Here's a link to Rockauto. It looks like the bushing kit you are looking for costs a little over $28.00. This is the link to the Ford parts section. If you follow it to the 1994 model year it appears they have a bushing kit for both front and rear stabilizer bars

You must have ordered the bushing kit from IPD.
You can buy the same kit here http://www.ericsrv.com/images/Ipd/Class%20A%20Motorhome...20A%20Motorhomes.htm for $20 less.
Use caution when ordering from Rockauto.com or PartsAmerica.com They will probably send you bushings for a 1 1/8" sway bar.
I have found only 2 places that can supply 1½" bushings. Ford or an IPD distributor.

Machman72, a good link to use to find ford parts is www.motorcraft.com/ . You can look up by V.I.N. and it will give you the part #.

Hope this helps ......
