This approval gives you full access to the site, to pictures, and to post, among other things. To be able to enjoy the full potential of the board for you, you need to be fully registered.. and that's easy.. Just send an email to me at jim@trishieldperformance.com and I will verify your registration. This policy will remain in effect indefinitely, as it has completely eliminated the bad actors from our site, who would spam and hack it, once they gained access. Thanks JW

    I want to get new bushings for the front swaybar but they make a 15/16 one or 1 inch. Looks like less than an inch, but does anyone know for sure ?, thanks - also should I get the one with the lube fitting.

    I thought my original was 7/8"..........I ordered a new thicker one (1"?) from a company called Addco, but forgot the part number. Made a huge difference in cornering. I had to add 1/4" shims under the mounts so it would clear the oil pan. Also, measure the distance between yours and give it to them to check before sending it.........mine had to be sent back once.

    They also sell a kit for the rear, but I passed on that one. NAPA sells that brand, but good luck finding a parts guy from there who wants to be bothered to find one that isn't listed on a computer screen.

    Addco has a web page, but I can dig up my receipt for their phone number if you need me to.

    Yes, thankyou. I measured mine and it is a hair over 13/16, so I'll go with the 7/8. Much appreciate the response.

    The factory front sway bar on a '69 Riviera is 25/32. You won't find this diameter anywhere. Using the least common
    dianominator, the closest size you'll come up is 13/16.
