a.d._510_n_ok Posted January 12, 2015 Report Share Posted January 12, 2015 My 510's sway bar bushings are MOOG 9243 in natural rubber but i would like to replace them with polyurethane units. I can't seem to find these in poly though. Is that because not all sway bar bushings are produced in both materials or am i missing a code like 9243 = rubber while 9243p = the same bushing but in polyurethane? Quote Link to comment
flatcat19 Posted January 12, 2015 Report Share Posted January 12, 2015 Cross-reference bushings for a 210/B310. 200sx might net you some results as well. 1 Quote Link to comment
MikeRL411 Posted January 12, 2015 Report Share Posted January 12, 2015 Have you considered RockAuto or JCWhitney? Amazing what you can find with little effort. Quote Link to comment
a.d._510_n_ok Posted January 12, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2015 yeah, nothing poly for mine on rockauto. hadn't thought about JC Whitney. God, I haven't bought anything from JC since 1996 when I sent 'em a post office money order - that's old school. never looked at their website. I figure I'll break out the calipers and measure the car's sway bay diameter and see if anything matches up. Quote Link to comment

a.d._510_n_ok Posted January 12, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2015 I did a measurement on my front sway bar diameter and found it to be 21mm. An ebay search revealed that Datsun 720 4WD 80-86 trucks used the same diameter sway bar. $28.99 later I have a kit, 14-1103 Prothane Polyurethane 21MM Front Sway Bar Bushing Kit with End Link Bushings, headed to me from San Jose!
