Quick Energy Bushing Kit question.

I'm getting ready to order the Energy Suspension Hyperflex Bushing kit (in stylish black) and some other little parts. The kit says it includes the sway bar bushings, but are they just the ones for the endlinks, or does it also include the ones that attach to the front subframe (see attached pic)?

I also need to know if the sway bars on an 87 GXL would me 24mm bars so I can snag the right parts.

Thanks guys!

the full kit comes with the ones that go on the subframe

edit: not sure on the sway bar diameter, but just order them for a GXL, the only difference in the kits would be the sway bushings anyways.......and different series.

Sweet, thank you. So it does include the end-link bushings as well (just gotta check, because mine are actually completly missing, )?

yes
are you positive you're just missing the bushing? is the endlink still intact?

The metal endlinks are all in one piece, but the rubber is gone from both the bar end and the a-arm end so they've been rattling around in there since I got the car and it rolls a bit more then it should.

I'm going to try some of that lube that ES is pushing now too, it's supposed to lessen any creaking the poly bushings create and it's only $10 for a tub, I'm sure I could find another use for it..... on car parts.... of course.

the kit comes with poly specific lube, but use it sparingly - they aren't THAT generous

That's why I'm getting some extra. If I push the order over $119 I get free shipping (yay!)
