Hi everyone,

After many hours of reading and searching, I was ready to buy the oem TL rsb but I chance upon a progress one on Craigslist. It's in great condition. I'm gonna get the moog end links from Amazon too.

Question on bushing. One of them has a tear as you can see in the picture. Would this be a big problem down the road (no pun intended)? Can I super glue it? Or should I buy replacement bushings on Amazon?

1. Would these work?
http://www.amazon.com/Prothane-18-1122-BL-Black-Rear-Bushing/dp/B00386UJY0/ref=sr_1_7?s=automotive&ie=UTF8&qid=1424196842&sr=1-7&keywords=Rear+sway+bushing+24mm

2. Or this set? What does the end link bushing do?

3. This one?
http://www.amazon.com/Energy-Suspension-8-5106R-Stabilizer-Bushing/dp/B000CN9BO6/ref=sr_1_22?s=automotive&ie=UTF8&qid=1424196842&sr=1-22&keywords=Rear+sway+bushing+24mm

4. Or this?

I'm confused. 1, 2, 3 or 4? Or should I get progress replacement ones?

By the way, I have a 4cyl sedan and have stock suspension. This is my first suspension mod. I don't plan to have coilovers cos I have a kid and expecting one more this summer. But I'd like less understeer. Thanks!

I'd install new hardware while you're putting on a new bar, you don't want to have to do get under there to do it later, the hardware is cheap anyway.

Get the endlinks from RockAuto, they have them for the cheapest I've seen.

Thanks. Rock auto is more expensive with shipping by a few dollars cos I have prime shipping for Amazon.

I don't know why the holes don't line up if they are for that car, use a pry bar or file them if they are of by a bit. Reuse stock if they are off by a bunch, but take pictures for the person who marketed them.

But sry about missing the previous question, yeah those should have the whole thing.
