I think its the same bushing used on 72 B-body's 2071572 superseded to 4322580,look on ebag there is a picture,I checked my 70/71 & 72 catalogs & they don't break it down enough just show the retainer,its possible the 73/74 catalogs due,ck.on Partsvoice several dealers have them.

Yeah, I imagine the new bushings will be tough to slide over the wider flattened end where the link attaches. Front They have a slit or are cut so they just slide over the bar at the attachment point If you don't care about factory stock http://www.energysuspensionparts.com/41108

This car is more of a driver than a show car, but I did want to keep the original sway bar and not have to switch to an aftermarket bar. Considering that, those Energy Suspension polyurethane bushings look perfect for my needs. Bill Meerholz has some cool stuff, but I'll let him keep the NOS bushings for someone who really needs them. Now, same question for the rear sway bar. Where do I get the bushings that mount it to the frame rails? I didn't see them on the Energy Suspension website. (at least not listed under 70 'Cuda) Any ideas? Thanks!

I have the front bar bushing kit. Easy install. http://bmcuda.com/ THESE ARE ON HOME PAGE IN FEATURED ITEMS. YES I KNOW THEY WERE NEVER SERVICED. I had 2 NOS front sway bars one in which I removed one of the bushings in which I had these made. i searched for years to find if serviced. Like everyone else found nothing so opted to have these made.

cataclysm80 I missed the fact you where looking for front & rear mounting bushings,as fare as the rear go I now see why the catalog only shows just the mounting bracket & doesn't break it down further as in showing the bushing separate, from the link aar#2 provided,its a non serviceable bushing & was sold complete bracket & all,from that picture I can see the bracket strap is humped in the middle just like the original 2071572 bushings which retains the bushing in place so I'm willing to bet its the same,I just looked @ my 2 72 B body Dana bars & the width looks the same,I think the later years the bushing was serviceable & the 73/74 catalog {anyone have one & can look it up} will show the bushing separate,I encountered the same for the front bushing no break down of separate parts only the complete bracket,need a picture of front bracket but I think it may take the same bushing also.

BME 70/74E & 71/72B front bushing is very tall & a different part# 2535987 that doesn't come up anywhere yet possibly in 73/74 catalog.
