Well i ordered front bushings and endlinks for my stock 30mm sway bar. I was wondering if i could use the same enlinks i bought for my stock bar. i know i need to repurchase 32mm bushings, but just wondering about the endlink because i dont see anything on Thunder racing's website for 32mm endlinks.

Also is it hard to replace the front sway bar?

I am looking at the 1LE Kit from gyrhead.com and i keep searching, but still unsure if they offer the real 1LE front spring

 

any ideas on the endlinks and the how good the 1le kit is from gyrhead.com

 

The bar gearhead has is correct.

The rear springs are 1LE.

The front springs are not 1LE, I know I bought some.

Not sure about the shocks, could be 1LE but they where not used after 1996, so they could be more than 9 years old.

The endlink should be the same as stock.

I used these from GMparts direct

1LE Stabilizer Bar Endlinks (GM p/n 10221779) $7.05 4 $33.84

Z28

 

I bought a used set of 1LE Front springs, and a NOS set of rear 1LE springs from gryhead.


The front springs I have had my hands on have the following rough dimensions.


P/N Wire Diameter Number of Coils Outside Dia. Free Length

(Stock) 22077195 .570" 9 4.59" 15.5"

(NOS) 22197228 .565" 9 4.56" 15.5"

(NOS) 22077196 .570" 10 4.58" 15.5"

(1LE) 22132561 .580" 9 4.52" 13.75"


To identify the rear 1LE springs look for a plastic spacer on a tightly wound spring coil near the top. This coil must be the progressive part of the 130-170 lb/in. It has the partnumber 22132889 it is also a good discontinued 1LE number. [http://www.gyrhead.com/special.htm]http://www.gyrhead.com/special.htm[/URL] , Has the rear spring.


To identify the 1LE front spring. Look for a spring that is shorter than stock by 1.75" and has .580 wire. I have not had my hands on the 22132887 1LE spring so I can't give you a way to identify it, but it should be similar to the 22132561.

My ride height is 28" at the front fender lip and 27 3/4" at the rear fender lip.

 

So do u think the 1LE kit is even worth buying if the front springs are not the 1LE. ARe they gonna be anybetter then my stock 130K Z28? Money is tight so im looking for a cheap upgrade
