Urethane bushings....Where to buy?
I am going to be doing some front suspention work and will replace all of the bushings. I have looked for urethane bushings with no luck. Does any one know where I can find some of these? It would be nice to buy them all as a kit if posible. Thanks ahead.

Performance products carries them.
Why are you goig with urathane? Are you planning on tracking the car or autocrossing? For regular street use, the rubber ones are fine (and a lot less noisy) AFJuvat

I was told they were better. What are the pros and cons of urethane?
While I'm at it.......The used sway bar (27mm) I have came with a post on the outer bushing. How do I mount this on my 83 944? Mine has a strap over the bushing. |

You do need to fix any oil and power steering leaks as these can rot out the rubber bushings should you decide to go that way.

The flexible front sway bar end mounting was used on the aluminum arms. There is a difference between the arc the arm takes and that of the end of the sway bar. The link is there to allow that difference to take place rather than have one fight the other in travel.
