solid front sway bushings

I'm cleaning up a 25.5mm front sway bar for install on my '84 944, and considering using the Racer's Edge inner sway mounts. Any BTDT on these? My only concern would be they'd squeak

I have about 10k miles on my set, no noise at all.

Awesome, thanks Duck!

FYI, I emailed Racer's Edge about these bushings, and this was their response:

"You could use a lubricant on them should you desire but generally I don't think they squeak."

But they race, and probably don't really care about squeaks . But since someone's running them w/out noise, I think I'm going to run them. Guess I gotta finish "de-rusting" and painting that 25.5 bar now!

You could also install a front sway bar bracket support to stiffen the overall feel of the car. This is a cheap but effective upgrade IMO.

Good call. I've got a set of these too, they'll be going in when the 25.5 bar does.

I also have delrin on my front and rears. No squeak from them. The front a-arm and spring plates are another issue. Squeak a lot in the cold, not so much in the heat.
