Moog Sway Bar Bushings

[emberglow65]

Does anyone know if Moog sway bar bushings K5243 will fit a 73 commercial chassis? Are the sway bars on a DeVille the same diameter as Hearse? The Moog parts lists 1966 thru 1976 DeVille but no specs. Still waiting on response from their tech help. If these fit I'd rather buy them for $6 and an end link set for now instead of the $200 Addco heavy duty bar. I can use that money for something more important elsewhere on the car.

Go to a shop and have them measure the diameter on the shaft. That's what i did on my 55 cad. That should give you your answer. I was able to buy mine for like 1o or 15 bucks right off the shelf at auto zone. Most of the front end parts on the cad models of the same year are the same. ( Eldorado might be a little different because of the front wheel drive) In general if you buy front end parts for a Fleetwood you are good to go.

Yes, that is the right sway bar bushings.
If you need front end parts I would suggest going to http://www.p-s-t.com/. I had the front end on my 73 hearse redo. They sell a front end kit that is a lot cheaper than buy piece by piece from a parts store.

Josh - do you remember the specific kit you got?

I talked to them on the phone and I told them what I had and they walked me through what I needed. They called me back later and told me they couldn't get the ball joint for some reason, so I had to buy them at Oreilly's. They have commercial chassis parts listed.

Are they much of an upgrade? It looks like mostly stock stuff.

[Abnorml]

Not sure. I think they are mostly stock.
