On my 54 Hornet Special, the bushings for the rear anti-sway bar are shot. Is there a source for these?. Kanter has some bushings for not for Hudson's.

Thanks for any help you can provide.

KGAP has them, I just put a pair on my 52 Hornet last week.

KGap is the source. Removing the rear sway bar to replace the bushings was a nightmare for me. I had to eventually destroy the original bolt on the body end to get it apart. It goes back together a very specific way, so if you have not done one of these before, be careful to notice how things came apart.

Thanks for the feedback. Didn't even think about KGAP. Fortunately mine came off easily and I tagged which end goes where.

Funny that this post just came up as I did the same work on my wasp last week. While I was under the car I noticed that the panhard bar had a little slop in the bushings....I removed the bar and examined the rubber bushings which actually were not too bad so what I ended up doing was I found a piece of pipe in my shop that just fit over the bolts and slid tightly into the rubber. I then reinstalled the bar and everything was nice and snug again.
