400-406 polyurethane bushes
 
Where can I get polyurethane bushes for a 406 antiroll bar and the drop links?
(or standard rubber ones).
I am fitting a 406 antiroll bar to my 400.

Bushings for a sway bar
 
Not all that complicated. These are usually on the shelves in bubble packs in most auto parts stores. All you need is the diameter measurement for the bar. Most all are fitted with a simple horseshoe sort of clamp and are quite easy to change out. Take the clamp with you and try some of the different sizes. Of course, the sway arm bushings likely need replaced too. This is that small assembly at the ends of the bars. I like the idea of the durability of the poly bushings, as the firm up the ride and improve handling. Be prepared for some new squeeks from the upgraded bushings. They do not lubricate very well.
