Swaybar bushings question

ok..
I scored a swaybar from a 92 Paseo.
now I need new endlink bushing kit and swaybar bracket bushings.
I'd like to get the polyurathane ones.

I went to Napa...they had some crapola endlinks and didn't have the bracket bushings.
I went to Autozone... they had some Duralast endlinks kit for $20 and said that they didn't carry and couldn't order the bracket bushings.

soooo now.. after searching this forum and finding only vague suggestions .....

does anyone know where to specifically purchase the poly endlink and bracket bushings.

please be specific
ie: website url and price along with part number

rather than the usual
"so and so makes some try their site"

No, the info dex provided wasn't useless.

You get off of your ass and get on google and do a search or you search this site.

He gave you a nail, you have to get the hammer and swing it.

Get the phone number of your nearest Toyota dealer, tell them you want 1992 Toyota Paseo endlinks for the front anti-sway bar. Then haul your butt up there with about $130CDN I believe it is. And that way you don't have to worry about any part numbers , just use the phone book.

Or, you can call the Toyota dealership, get all the part numbers, then get on google.com and type in "Energy Suspension" and go to their web page and email them about what product of theirs would fit the Paseo the best (and don't forget to send the part numbers you got earlier).

I'm sorry, but you have to do your research and don't get upset with people that offer any info. Because some info is better than NO info now isn't it? Oh, and they might have the info you are looking for in the future... what is the saying? Oh yes.. Don't bite the hand that feeds you.

Swaybar info..

ok...
I googled "back yard productions".
found nothing on their site regarding bushings.
I will e-mail them today.

Toyota dealer part #'s are about 12#'s and differ from what energy suspension would have in their data base. How would I know about toyota part dealer #'s..?
I previously worked at the Toyota Parts Distribution Warehouse in San Ramon, CA for 6 months.

As for doing my legwork on searching through dozens of posts from this site as well as Tercelonline I've only found a few suggestions of auto stores, very important measurements regarding swaybar size. I've also e-mailed Whiteline and Whiteline's US Distributor and exchanged e/m's with them directly and have gotten JACK SHIT from them. I get the bullshit "we'll have customer service contact" line over and over and heard nothing.
I've e-mailed vector velocity numerous times within the past month and a half and have heard nothing. I've searched the Energy Suspension website.... Summit Racing website... as well as Whiteline like I mentioned previously.

This is the info I've gathered up so far which I think is a bit more specific than blurting out some company's name.

92 Paseo Swaybar
=============
swaybar is ¾" thick

frame bracket holes are 2½" apart, from center of hole to center of other.
**sway bar bracket bushing**
www.summitracing.com
part # ENS-9-5156R

swaybar endlinks are 4 9/16" long, and there is a spacer in the center that is 9/16" thick.
** endlink bushing kit **
www.summitracing.com
part # ENS-9-8105G

====================
WHITELINE SWAYBAR INFO:
the part number is
BTF41
it's a 22mm non-adustable sway bar

where to get it from here in the US
www.185performance.com
I was told that the 22mm sway bar is in stock

the price:
$132 + shipping & handling

now you can order the swayabar direct from whiteline.com.au
if you want to pay $140 for shipping

I do appreciate people's response, but it has been fustrating trying to get specific details on something that should only take a few minutes. But as shit always sucks.... it doesn't.

Sounds to me you have more than enough info to get sway bar endlinks.

I got mine together with half as much info.

Want to know what I did?

I went to Toyota, said I have a 1992 Toyota Paseo anti-sway bar, gimme the endlinks. He said, "O.k." and couple of weeks later (some parts were backordered) I got 'em. I went and bought some Energy suspension poly urathane bushings that were roughly the same size as the stock bushings.

Damn, that was hard.
