that bush. DC2 type rsb, which need some bushings on that end.
some others swaybars don't need bushings, im aware of that.

i had a look on energy suspension website, in their product catalog there is a bush that is called "Universal Link - Flange type bushing" (pg.13)

is this what i need to get?
the new rsb doesnt have any bushings on them.

***to clarify: not looking for endlinks, looking for bushing to go in hole illustrated in pic***

thanks for the help.

as far as i know there is no bushing that goes in there as ive never seen 1 where the endlinks go.

go to bursons and ask for endlink bushings they might have it

In that first photo that you posted, it is difficult to see since the resolution is so low. Cusco RSBs do not use bushings in the mounting hole. They are a flattened end section with a small hole for the endlink bolt to go through and bolt directly.

Here is a close up photo of what it looks like (obviously from a different brand and model). Aftermarket RSBs don't usually use bushings in mounting hole because it causes flex which makes the RSB less effective. They are usually directly bolted to the endlink.

I'd try Bursons then. You need to measure the rubber bush outer diameter, rubber inner diameter, steel bush outer diameter and steel inner diameter.

If the rubber bush outer diameter is the same on the OEM DC2 sway bar as on the Cusco sway bar, then you can consider swapping it over too. Be careful when removing because you don't want to damage the rubber.
