So while installing the front links today, one of the cone washers/spacers rolled down my driveway and into the abyss...cutting my install short. I weed whacked and everything trying to find that damned thing.

Anyone know where I could find another? Which size am I looking for?

Edit: Found 'em - Amazon.com: QSC 1/2 Steel Cone Spacer, Tapered Rod End Spacer: Industrial & Scientific

Shipping is cheaper here: 1/2" STEEL CONE SPACER HEIMS HEIM JOINT ROD END ENDS JOINTS | eBay

Gonna buy like 5 and keep some spares since I'm paranoid now lol.

Edit: get the 7/16" spacers.

Pretty sure - curious that yours already wore out? Poly is usually pretty resilient.

im talking about the sway bar bushings. not the end link bushings.

i have mikes end links, but i got lazy and i never ordered the sway bushings (until yesterday). my rig devolped a gnarly clunk after i went snow wheeling right after the endlinks were installed.

ive looked at the sway bushings themselves and they are toast and starting to 'squeeze' out of the sides, so i know theyre toast, im just not sure if thats the culprit of my gnarly clunk.

either way, they need to be replaced, so im glad im finally getting around to it.

OH! That makes sense. That would def be a source of clunk. I just replaced mine with the Prothane units with the greasble zerks fittings on the brackets.

You might be able to find the brackets - if not, not a huge deal. Just put a nice synthetic grease on the bar and it should be good for a while.

Those aren't the correct size spacers.

You're right, they're like 1mm too big, I measured 17/32". Dammit, there goes a waste of money lol. I bet it's their 7/16th that fits.

Answered your PM btw.

Any reason your website doesn't have the 4th gen disconnects?

My website doesn't have any disco's on them. These are something that I've never really wanted to mass produce. They're still available, but you'll have to PM me directly about them.
