I ordered a pair of these from Rock Auto after measuring the diameter of my front sway bar - '71 Charger R/T 440 car. The OE sway bar measures 22 mm, so I ordered the bushings for that. They are too small of diameter first of all, plus these will not stay centered - all of them do not have the "humped" contour like the OE bushings - as you can see - they are flat.
Where can I get the correct contour (rubber) that will fit into the OE brackets? See photo of the style I received - this style is all Rock Auto offers - 4 different brands too.

I've seen those - not even close to the right shape however.

The Mopar part# according to Bill Meerholz Enterprise is #2535987 who I believe was repoping them at one time, I could never find this part# either in the factory parts manual or any for sale Ebay etc etc,the moog part# K5241 is a poor substitute & supposed to fit many makes & models,an NOS GM bushing part# 3742254 {Ebay} looks like it may be a better substitute check it out.

I think I'm looking for 4322580. This is a superceded # from the original part. Martin Kolner (Arizona Parts) is not showing any.

IIRC the sway bar and bushing were serviced together so no bushing number was provided from the factory. Will this work??? https://www.ebay.com/p/12010167728
Time just gets away from us I`m here until I`m not

Once you verify correct bushings buy many of them. They will be made of an inferior rubber and most likely dry rot after a few years even though they're not exposed to sunlight.
Keep old mopars alive.

A little while back I was searching out original e-body rear sway bar bushings and came across these, took a screenshot for reference but it looks like they're sold now, anyway maybe 2071572 would also work? Sent you a PM.
