Re: [Chrysler300] 300G sway bar bushings

Bob, I did my ‘65 sway bar bushings as you described years ago.

I drilled out the spot weld with a large bit. I didn’t have spot weld cutters at the time so drilled a little deeper than necessary to release the weld.

Installed the new bushing, clamped it in place and plug welded with my MIG. I was concerned about heat on the new bushing but with a quick weld and a wet cloth it was uneventful. Looks factory and good for another 40 years or so.

Don’t remember where I bought the bushings. If Steele has them, that’s likely where they came from....or possibly Gary Goers.

Has anyone replaced the factory sway bar bushings on a 300G? Gary lists these in his catalog, and I’ve emailed Quirey about availability but have not yet heard back. The only way I see to install these is to cut the welds on the sway bar, remove the old one, lube and slide the new one over the flat ends, reassemble and re-weld. Sure would like to know if anyone else has replaced these and/or know a source to buy them.. I can’t imagine it would be easy to cut the welds, get them onto the bar and positioned, then reweld without damaging them. Seems odd that Chrysler would design them so unserviceable, and evidently they were that way through 1965.
