Urethane replacement bushings for stock front sway end-links????

Maybe I missed it, but I’ve never seen them separately or even in kits. Does anyone offer these?
I’m thinking about returning to a stock front sway from my current Tri-point adjustable since I’m no longer autox’ing. I have a good set of stock end-links and really not interested in heims. But I do have another stock set with blown-out rubber. I’d like to try urethane in those if they’re available.

Not sure if you can get the bushing alone, I think you have to get the endlinks.

I've never seen it. The stock end links are zero play, there's really no need for them to be upgraded. Get some new ones and you're good.

I have a pair of good ones. And not looking to upgrade compliance, was only hoping to find a more durable material and make it a project changing in out the ones that are shot rather than throwing them away.
And IMO there is a need for an upgrade in durability. But oh well.

they’re likely cast in place or bonded rather than pressed

there are a few diy vids etc. for reworking a polymer bushing in the urethane durometer of your choice, it’s not really rocket science, but will require some ability and hand/eye skill for that sort of thing.

maybe find a cheap worn pair and give it a go.
