Front sway bar bushings
So I went back to NAPA today and they let me use their caliper thingy to measure my sway bar...and I got 30.18mm one time, and 29.88mm another time...an even 30mm another time, depending on how I held the thing. They didn't carry any 30mm bushing at all for me and suggested I try the local Dodge dealer. He said the 32mm bushings he carries might work, but wasn't 100% sure on that.
So, should I go for the 32mm ones that NAPA carries for $12.29 a pair, or should I go to Dodge, where I talked to the guy just now, and he does in fact have some of the 30mm bushings in stock for the price of $21 EACH (so $42)?

Can anyone confirm this is a real answer? LoL....not being wise, I would love to save some cash, but I don't wanna do repeat work if I don't have to. If the 32mm's will work just fine without being loose or sloppy, I'd do it...but I'm not looking forward to taking them off and re-buying the 30mm's after the fact.
**Also, I see that Moog makes a 30mm bushing that I saw on partsgeek.com Part Number: 1846-07031706 for $14.75 each, and on Summit Racing's site I saw Energy Suspension has a set ENS-5-5141G for $27.95 ........are either of these recommended higher than the OEM bushings I can get at the local Dodge dealer?**

If I interpret what Moog says correctly... they're split so they're easier to put on... but I'm not sure if they'll make noise because of that. They're both urethane so they should be better than the standard rubber ones Dodge makes.
I also need to get this! I will need the Sway bar end links, if thats the correct name for that part. Any clue on those? P/n or the name so I can order those as well?
Thanks is advance!

Thanks for the reply...I was advised to go with the Moogs...any idea if they come as a pair, or single? I couldn't find the answer in the description at all...I sent a support ticket to their customer service, but who knows when they'll get back to me.
So just got new polyeurathane bushings for front swaybar from Napa. They didnot have a listing for 2005 Dakota Quadcab 4x2 but found correct ones 1.25 in or 33mm from 2008 Ram Megacab 1500 4x2 Part number from Napa is 265-2361 paid $25.00 for pair
Unfortunately I don't know. I haven't replaced mine yet because I have the TRX4 package and my bar is a different size and I haven't bothered to research them. If you go with the Moog ones let us know how they are... might get me to replace them if you like them.
think those will work on my 2007? I just noticed that it says those are for a 2003
