So the sway bar bushings swap out was a bust this morning. The Cognito sway bar 210-90266 is an oversized bar (1.31"/33mm diameter). The bushings inner diameter is 33mm and matches the Moog parts I ordered. The Cognito bushing is 66mm top to bottom and 52mm with the bumps on the end that fit the bracket perfectly. The Moog bushing is 52mm tall and 57mm wide. The Cognito bushing sure is wallowed out, hence why all the clanking underneath going over the bumps. Butttt...the height of the actual bracket and bushings are quite different and not interchangeable. The Moog bushing is too short.
I have found some universal Energy Suspension 33mm greaseable and adjustable brackets that might be able to do the job. They will fit the bar and fit the bolt holes, but the problem may be the offset of the bar and hence why Cognito has the taller brackets and bushings? The shorter bushings even with its own bracket may not be tall enough. See drawings with measurements. I might order them in and see if they will work, but I'm thinking the shorter bushing and bracket combo may not be able to lock into place and bolt securely with that 5mm differential as there is a tiny bit of wiggle room on the sway bar and end links, but 5mm is quite a lot to force it to fit. Thoughts?
I might also contact Cognito in California to see if they have any replacement bushings as I have been unable to find any exact Cognito bushings and/or bracket combos in my searches online.
I put the used bushings back in until I can get some new parts in. Here are some pics.
Any other thoughts that I may be missing, shoot them over.
