Front sway bar bushings ?

[lt1ski]

I think everyone who owns a 600 has had this problem. I went into the garage one day and pieces of sticky black licorice were laying under the front of my car. I looked up and they had come out of the front sway bar bushings.
Years ago one of the members sold replacements for these but I hadn't
heard of these for a long time. Luckily someone posted that they had used urethane bushings they had purchased from JC Whitney. The description was a bit sketchy but I was able to figure out part #.
  I don't have the part # right now but will look in my records for it.  I have 3 Hondas from this decade I'm working on right now but I did not want you to despair over the possible lack of replacement parts.
   I changed my bushings 2 years ago and can remember that the bushings are red and that I had to use longer bolts to attach them. The red color did not bother me as my car is red.

Sorry about that. Bill has them made. They are pricey, but well worth it.

I found a piece of paper in the basement and it said Miles Chappel $3 and an address also Mike O' Conner and the address for a price list.
Just a thought, it may be helpfull to new 600 members to list an address and
a list of the Honda 600 items they sell of the three biggies in the 600 hobby
today.  Namely Bill, Miles and Mike. If listed every six months it would eliminate several questions posed on this site.

Still available through JC Whitney.  Try this:
http://www.jcwhitney.com/autoparts/Prod ... t=prothane You may have to cut & paste the address together.  So, no whining.

What an excellent idea.  It's so good that it will NEVER happen.  It just makes too much sense to work.

I have been having them made up for several years.  They are 80 shore (hardness of the rubber).   I have them for both Coupe and Sedan and the end sway bar end bushings for before Apr 1971 and after.
Contact me outside the group.
