Thanks, I've bookmarked them, but the part number and make is very helpful, I may have found a supplier in the UK. I'll post on here when I know for certain.

 

Have you done any checks yet? The most likely is the bushes but the anti roll bar links are also a common fault as are the lower arm rear bushes. I have even seen sub frame warn away by the front bush of the lower arm as it’s a metal bush and an alloy sub frame. If you are going to order bit best to get all you need and fix it first time and so only pay delivery once.

 

Thanks Merlin - I'll check once this cold spell passes and before I order anything.

 

Are these sold in pairs, or are the $11 each. Can you tell me the part number (or link to this site) for the sway bar links - I've been told these are worn also, so may as well order them at the same time.

Many thanks

 

here are the standard and heavy duty models. I have the standard and they work fine...

SPICER Part # 5451096B {Red Label-Service Grade}

SPICER Part # 5451096 {Professional Grade Sway Bar Repair Kit}

$30.79 $0.00 $30.79

 

Many thanks for this - exactly what I needed [sm=thanx.gif]

 

Can't find the first part (the $11.06 option), but is the second option better than the AC Delco part - because I will be ordering from RockAuto, and including the ACDelco bushing, even though the ACDelco sway arm is more expensive, I would save the difference because all parts are shipped from one location.

Also, thanks again for this website - I've found a rear wiper motor and a power door switch much cheaper than I can get a used one from ebay over here (assuming I need these and it's not a power supply problem to the tailgate). Excellent result.

 

Looks like they discontinued the cheaper sway bar links. they used to show on the same page as the others. I paid $30usd or so locally so that is not a bad price and probably a better part. good luck with all this and keep me posted on how well it all goes!

 

OK - may get the parts fitted by a local garage, assuming they don't object to me getting the parts for them, but will wait to order until I know if I need a wiper motor as this comes from the same supplier, so saves on shipping (Do you know how to remove the plastic trim from the rear tailgate - I've asked this on another thread about the rear wiper?)

 

Just a note for all owners on here based in the UK - I have finally gotten around to ordering parts from these guys, and I can only say that the service is awesome. I ordered Monday lunchtime, and the parts turned up less than 48 hours later - it cost me $1 extra to upgrade from normal postage to FedEx express (total cost of shipping was about $60) and with the cheap cost of the parts from these guys, it was well worth having them sent over (don't forget to add VAT into the cost though). As a comparison, when my local garage tried to order these parts from the local chrysler dealer, he still hadn't received them after over a week, at which point we cancelled the order.

One word of advice if you are ordering multiple parts - it's worth playing around with different manufacturers of parts on RockAutos order system to try to get it down to as few manufacturers as possible to cut delivery costs as parts are sent from different locations - the checkout on RockAutos shows this and the total shipping cost from each location. In my case, I ordered all parts made by Spicer rather than a mixture of Spicer and ACDelco as this cut shipping costs by about $30.

Just have to get the bits fitted now
