I've asked about this "Ignore" option before. Where is it ? Is it is settings somewhere ? Also, what does it do exactly ?

Why are you bringing up an old post ? This is the third or fourth time you have brought up an old post that I made, trying to prove me wrong. Why are you so obsessed with trying to prove me wrong ?

So you didn't try and compress the bushing ? I know you used a jack, but that doesn't compress the bushing. In our bus shop I've had to use a 4 ton "porta-power" unit to compress the bushings. They can be that tight.

What you can do is just use a heavy duty "C" clamp and suck the bracket up so you can access the bolt holes. I've installed these bushings with that much gap all the time. You just need to compress it. Really you don't want any slop when you install them. They are a "zero" clearance bushing...

Just for grins and giggles, does anyone have the NSN numbers for these bushings ? I'll try and get ahold of the Gillig suppliers and see what they say about their parts fitting. I don't have the TM's for these trucks or I would look them up myself.

The ones sold by "Gillig" come with the zerk fitting hole already.

That's good news ! No matter what others believe, I'm all for "promoting" the Military Vehicle hobby. That means trying to find good reasonable priced parts for "everyone" ! In the past I've found good parts and posted about them on this site. Since I'm retired and do not need to worry...

It's a simple request. Just post some pictures and remove all doubt. But that is not my original intent here. I found some bushings that I believe are the exact ones needed and you seem determined to disprove me no matter what. Fist off, how much are you charging for your bushings ? Are they...

Some simple pictures would explain all, and remove all doubt. Why not post them ?

WOW ! Someone really got their knickers in a bunch ! I never said anything about you not wanting to help the community. I was referring to my efforts which you really seem determined to discredit. I wonder way ? In your first response to me you said the diameter was 2" after I said the "Gillig"...

Well I will just say this. When I used to replace the sway-bar bushings you had to really squish them in and use an impact gun to tighten the bracket. So that tells me that the bushing is "under-size" for the shaft being used. As far as "every sway-bar system looks like this" that is so wrong in...

Like I mentioned earlier. I don't know the actual size of the Gillig sway-bar. I just assumed it was 1.5" . It very well could be the 1.67" that "JonMolander" measured. That is why I said to get a hold of Gillig to find out. I am retired from the transit department so I no longer have access to...

If that sway-bar measures out to be 1.67" then the factory "Gillig" bus bushings should fit . At $30.00 a pop, that is not a bad price. https://www.ebay.com/i/192820634269?chn=ps

I suppose someone could call them and ask what sizes are available from them. Here's their ebay site. https://www.ebay.com/i/192820634269?chn=ps Just so the moderators know, this is "not" a live auction.

What is the size of the sway-bar shaft ? The Gillig bushings are 1.5" if I remember correctly.

These bushings look exactly like the front sway bar bushings used on Gillig 40ft buses. They are made from heavy duty Urathane with a grease zerk hole. I replaced hundreds of these over the years.
