Looking for advice on an annoying issue. Here’s the situation:
- Car: 2013 Mustang V6 Convertible, 171k miles
- Problem: Front sway bar bushings have been shot for a while—thought it was struts at first
- Found out my sway bar is 33.3mm
- Ford doesn't sell bushings for this size
- Bought Energy Suspension 33mm poly bushings (was told slightly smaller was better to avoid play)
- Had them installed at Mustang Magic (Long Island)
- Squeaked worse than OEM bushings within a day
- Reinstalled with Formula 5 grease — quiet for 2 weeks, then squeak came back
- Sprayed silicone last week — helped temporarily, but squeak returned today
- Noise mainly coming from driver’s side bushing
Trying to avoid replacing the whole bar. My options/questions:
- Are there rubber bushings that fit a 33.3mm bar?
- Worth trying to re-grease with a needle and grease gun?
- Any other proven fixes without dropping big $$?
Appreciate any tips—thanks!
