I just swapped my end links this past weekend and both bars rotate completely free; full, smooth rotation with no links attached. They may come assembled or something when ordered after the fact, IDK, but I’ve confirmed on the car, they are not bonded.

For the 2018 I used stock GT350R sway bars, they were less expensive than the aftermarkets and similar sizes (34mm front and 24mm rear).

Front kit $208 at Levittown:

https://www.levittownfordparts.com/sku/gt350rswaybarkit.html

FR3Z-5482-J - Front Sway Bar
FR3Z-5484-C - Bushings (2)
FR3Z-5486-A - Clamps (2)

FR3Z-5A772-E - Rear G350R Sway Bar, $111 frtom Tasca

F2GZ-5493-C -Bushings (2), $16/ea from Tasca

Don't know why the rear parts aren't showing up on Levittown's website but if you message them they'll give you pricing. Or just order straight from a local Ford dealer so you can pick them up and avoid shipping, although you may be able to get free shipping from Levittown if you ask.
Hey,
Meant to ask you, what type of grease did you use on GT350R bar bushings??

Thanks Anthony

I know you didn't ask me. But if you use graphite the bushings won't collect dirt, grease won't dry out, and you will never have to think about it again.
What is it Graphite grease? What's the brand name?
Thanks Anthony

Off the shelf bushing grease, the super sticky translucent stuff

I wonder if wheel bearing grease would react with the polymers? It's super tacky, can't be washed off and designed to work in a clamped environment. I would still cut a small lube retention groove in the inner bore of any support though.

I like that Lucas grease for general purpose everything, but I can see how graphite or MDS spray would be good on an ARB bushing.
