Ok, 1st of all, 2007 Dodge Dakota SLT Quad cab 4X4 4.7 V-8, auto, 45k miles....

Now that that's out of the way, where the heck do I get front sway bar bushings for this thing? Mine are very squeaky, and need to be replaced (along with a few other things I'm doing at once), but I'm having trouble finding them. People here are talking 32mm and 34mm, and when I go to Advance Auto and/or Auto Zone, they only tell me there's 16mm and 20mm for it. Well, I've actually got underneath it and measured it and it measures 1 and a quarter inches (with a tape measure) in diameter. Not sure real quick while sitting here with a coffee what that is in mm, but I know it's about 2 times bigger than the 20mm Moog bushings I bought! So I returned them to AA, and am now trying to locate the right ones....any tips? The girl at the local dealership had no idea what I was even talking about over the phone.....

Thanks

 

Summit racing carries greasable bushings. Part # 19-1144, 28mm...I had these on my truck.

 

Sometimes bushings can squeak without being "destroyed". I'd get a can of silicone spray lubricant and give them a really good spray - let it creep in and do it again. The squeak will often go away. The silicone spray is also really good for all the weather gaskets on your truck, like around the doors, windows, etc., and you can also use it for lubricating various hoses, O-rings, etc., before putting them on. It makes for slick installation and you can avoid a lot of damage to any sensitive rubber (seals, and O-rings come to mind).

 

Yeah, tried it...didn't completely get rid of it. I went to NAPA just now to see what they had...for $12 they had a pair listed, and they were 34mm...I ordered them...hope they're the ones! But there's 28mm too? Wow...I'm getting confused here lol

 

I know that there are other main locations, but I just realized a couple months ago...after finding the Summit Racing location that is close to me....that it's not just a coincidence that both myself and Summit Racing are located in Summit County, Ohio... Food for thought...I wonder if they are hiring???

 

Hey Brohs187 what is the napa part number for the bushings as i need to replace mine also

 

Yeah, now that I think about it, the 28mm might be for the TRX, cause I also found these from another thread:

1.25in is about 31.75mm. I think you'll need the 32mm ones. Did you want factory ones? They're made of rubber and I think most people preferred the polyurethane. Factory P/N is W0133-1806628.

If it were me I'd get greaseable ones... the truck seems to like greaseable components.

 

I didn't get an exact measurement...just eyeballed it quickly with a tape measure. Will the 34mm ones work then if it is 32mm? 2mm isn't much, but what do I know? I'll have to see if they will swap em...or maybe someone there will be able to measure it.

 

MRC HB1798 they are $12.29
