I'm looking to replace my sway bar bushings, but I can't seem to find the diameters for the front and rear sway bars...anyone have any idea?

This is what was listed in the FAQ section.
What kind of suspension components does the VX have?
The VehiCROSS sports a double wishbone, independent front suspension using torsion bar springs with a 1.1" stabilizer bar.
The rear is comprised of a 4-link suspension using coil springs with a .75" stabilizer bar.
The VehiCROSS uses four aero-space-standard extruded mono-tube shock absorbers with external expansion chambers to make it virtally impossible to overheat providing the VehiCROSS with a firm, stable ride.
I think I've seen a few references to aftermarket bushings on this board in the past, so you might try searching for "swaybar" and/or "bushings" to find aftermarket sources for new bushings.

Scott was selling eurethane sets a while back, but I think his source dried up. About $50 I think. They made an amazing difference in body roll when passing.

If some who bought them can post the Part# I think your local Checkers auto parts carries them and might be able to order them if they don't have the correct ones in stock.
Here is another source if you have the part#...Bushings (http://www.fly-n-hi.com/energy.html)

Has anyone replaced their end links with polyurethane? Size on those?

Scott (Moncha) had greasable sway bar bushings for sale and I got the last set. They seem to be hard to come by, but the ones I bought from him are as follows. BTW, I contacted Scott about giving this information out to the board, but since he's sick I havn't heard back.
The sizes I have are a set of 28mm (9.5163G) and a set of 3/4" 19mm (9.5156G) from Energy Suspension.
I checked online to see if I could find a source for those people that are looking around the board. And, I found a place in IL that carry's them in stock. I didn't want to post it to the board without his ok, but the links to the site are

I contacted them and they said they had both in stock (about 2 or 3 sets) ready to ship. The cost for each set is $16.95. There was another place http://www.suspension.com/s.b.bushings.htm that says they carry them as well, but I didn't call to verify if they had in stock or not, at a price of $16.00.
