Sway Bar bushings

[xr4x4ti]

Are all of the factory front sway bar bushings bonded to the sway bar? I know my 2017 GT PP1 has the bonded bushings.

Do the GT350, Ford Performance, etc also have them?

If I needed to not have bonded bushings with my existing sway bar does anybody have a recommendation for some bushings that either use the factory brackets or come with brackets?

This is coming from my AWD conversion. AWD Mustang GT

I need to raise the nominal position of the sway bar to clear the front axles. With the bonded bushings I will have sh%t loads of preload on the bushings at static height.

Thanks,
Tim

Neither my factory 350 bar nor my FP 350 bars that come in the kit are bonded.

My factory GT350 sway bar bushings, nor the FP bushings, are bonded.

Also, the factory GT350 bar is for sale, if you are close enough. I can't imagine shipping is cheap on something like that.

Steeda sway bars aren’t bonded, they also make additional mounts as an option

Can you solve with adjustable end links? Aftermarket bushings aren’t great and neither is a swaybar at a weird angle.

Thanks for all of the great feedback!

I will need adjustable end links, but at my ride height, the stock sway bar in its neutral position with the bonded bushings is going to be right where my CV axles are. This obviously does work. So, at ride height I will have to raise the sway bar about 1-2 inches at the end of the bar. Not a bid deal IMHO.

I ordered the adjustable end link. Now, I just need to order the bushings.
