I was checking out my normal parts supplier (Ebay, ha), and found these when I was looking for some new rubber for my swaybar:

Anyone have any experience with these? I haven't found any info on them using the search button. I seem to have found mixed reviews on whether or not poly is really any better - but for these prices, they're about the same as rubber, so I figure "why not", right? Any bad experiences?

There are a number of companies doing these, can't see any issues plus poly won't swell with oil contamination like rubber.

I used them for the front sway bar. So far so good. Sure feels better than the 30 year old swollen factory rubber bits.

Yep I have all the sway bar and link bushings from them. They are great, nothing like urethane with kevlar

make sure you get the right ones for your bar... 86 951 had the 24mm unless you changed it

See - that's why I love this forum- the attention to detail. And I'm glad I put my year and model in the signature line.

Luckily though, I did run out to the garage real quick and used a set of calipers to measure the bars, and yep - 24mm.

Using their PS rack bushings.....Tightened the steering right up.

Here's another company with a similar product. Available in various hardness and more options: http://store.powerflexusa.com/porsch...ngs-p1241.aspx

Glad I mentioned it then I have an 86 as well so your sign made me think of it. I just ordered those bushings recently, quality is very nice.

Well, I guess that settles it - ordered a full set of poly bushings for the front sway bar (they were starting to deteriorate anyways). I'm planning on redoing the suspensions at some point in the future, maybe the next year or so... if so, I'll probably get the rest of the bushings for the control arms, etc.

If your steering rack bushings are old, I would replace them with a set of the poly ones too...just did mine and made a HUGE difference.

Luckily, the PO redid them at least fairly recently - had the rack off for a couple months while I was rebuilding the engine, and they looked great.

I'll probably redo them when I redo the suspension though.

Did my front anti-sway bar. Just wish. they came in black.

What size bushing for 89 turbo (m030)?

dirtyTurbo

I have them on my sway bar and the rear control arm. I installed them when I put on the turbo sway bar and I had to bent the mount because the whole thing was too round, but it looks like that's just me. Make sure you use all of the grease they give you! I didn't
