Default Correct 1 1/8” Sway Bar Bushings

Have a 72 GTO - has the stock 1 1/8” bar and brackets - been having issues finding the correct bushings .

I ordered a set off rock auto (Delphi brand) and they are way too tall to fit in the bracket.

Tried a set from inline tube that was supposed to fit and they are too small for the bracket…

Am I missing something? Is there a brand somewhere that I can get the correct fit?

Difficult to find the correct ones as I went through the same thing you did with a 1 1/8" bar I found in a 70 GTO.

IIRC, I found some through an eBay Corvette vendor a few years ago.

I’m worried about the same thing on my ‘72 with the factory bar, I have a set of Energy Suspension sway bar bushings but haven’t installed them yet.

If these truly don't fit I see several different molded Corvette ones for sale out there.

Those are the exact ones pictured that I got from inline (the smaller ones)

I put an 1 1/8th on my 68 last year and used the energy suspension bushing. Alls good .

Thanks - maybe I’ll just buy a new bracket with the bushing then so I don’t have to mess around/waste money. Are there any better ones to buy ? Or can I buy anything for an abody with the 1 1/8” bar?

I ran into this also. I ended up just cutting the tall ones down
