Tanabe S14 front Sway bar bushings replacement

Does anyone have a alternate part number for the tanabe S14 front sway bar bushing?

Tanabe no longer offers the sway bars and I need to replace the bushings? Bushing is 30mm and utilizes the factory sway bar bushing bracket.

Going off logic, any bushing for a 30mm bar will work if it either also uses the stock bracket or comes with its own bracket. The Cusco part in the link above should work given your explanation.

Energy Suspension offers universal bushings and are probably easier to source.
https://www.energysuspensionparts.co...r-bushings.asp

They come with a bracket if it doesn't fit the stock brackets and I think the only difference between the greasable and non greasable bushings are that the greasable bushings come with a grease fitting on the bracket.

30mm = 1.1811 inch

Available ES universal bushing sizes close to 30mm:
28.5mm = 1.125 inch (1 1/8" ES greasable & non greasable available)
30.1625mm = 1.1875 inch (1 3/16" ES greasable only)

I would probably go for the 1 3/16" ES greasable (ES site list it as 30mm/1.18in) part number 9.5171
https://www.energysuspensionparts.com/9.5171

Alternatively, you can order it from Amazon, Summit Racing, or even Autozone.

Currently looking into this.

I already got a ES kit, but I didn't like how the bracket fit. Im still looking into other options.
