My '95 Z, all stock, has a rattle in the front left hand side when I hit bumps or imperfections. I am almost positive that it is the bolt that holds the swaybar (on the drivers side) to the A-arm. The bolt has bushings on it and a nut at both ends, and it is loose (it can be moved by hand up and down about 1/2" - 1"). Not sure, but I think maybe I lost a bushing in there somewhere? I've tried getting the nut/bolt off using a ratchet on one side and wrench on the other and it is NOT moving..lol. Not even a little, even after a generous application of wd40 and letting it set for a day. I may have to just cut it off with a dremel. Anyway, my question is, should I replace this bolt/bushing set with the stock part, or is there a better upgrade...I've been seeing a lot on here about poly bushings for swaybars, which is why I'm asking. Open to suggestions..I need to do this soon the rattle is driving me nuts.

 

Just order a set of the Energy Suspension ones from Summit Racing; they're cheap and work well.

You're probably not going to be able to unscrew them, most often they rust so badly the only way to get them off is to cut the bolt; it's pretty normal.

If you can't find one that lists as a direct replacement; go measure the length of the spacer, and order one that has the same length spacer; they're universal as long as the spacer length is correct.

 

Just an update...Went to autozone today and they had both the "stock" replacement and the energy variety. The energy brand was a universal fit, and was substantially larger than the stock replacement, so I played my cards safe and went with the stock...

 

New stock type will be better than what you had, there should not be any play in that assembly.
