dont buy sway bar bushings ever again just do this and problem fixed any make/year/model

[@iquetzal6014]

I had a friend named Sergio years ago. He was Russian but grew up in Argentina. He was a genius at keeping old cars running by using exactly this sort of no-BS, direct approach. That is the beauty of old vehicles. They are not saddled with computers and electronics that turn them into unrepairable paperweights. You can repair pre-2000 vehicles until they rust out.

[@andrewerickson6690]

❤

[@steinbauge4591]

letting a vehicle rust out is just stupidity or laziness. So easy to avoid. Spray under and use just a spraycan with a hose with some oil or wax in cavities, preferably a compressor/air tools. Chain oil is cheapest, fluid film or such is best. NO excuse for just letting a car rot.

[@sergiomarki]

[@HaOsLsE]

@@sergiomarki You're a genius.

[@rushnerd]

That is extremely cool and mad respect to him. But in cases like this if AT ALL POSSIBLE I would absolutely never advise doing anything but replacing the bushings and lubing them. Unless you don't have access to those parts for some reason, there is no way this makes sense. I 100% understand in America it's all about throw it away, but with older cars, you seriously want the best you can get to make newer cars look like the junk they are.

[@MrBikedrummer]

Soft rubber hosing won't hold up against the movement and pressure of the sway bar. It's a neat short term repair. Creative!

[@JM-AUTO]

it looks like it was done yesterday, truck is heavyly use for scrap 7 days, could not find bushings any where, got wrong ones online too. thanks for the visit to this channel.

[@MrBikedrummer]

@@JM-AUTO Nice creative repair though!

[@keithhults8986]

I was going to say the same thing. Rubber density is a big deal when the load pressure of the vehile leaning squeezes it. A very thin layer of Red&Tacky grease could help keep the bar friction from speeding up the wear. Otherwise, I was impressed with his imagination. I wonder what the repair looks like now that time is coming to the 1st year repair anniversary.

[@mikehaines5467]

why not just use tire rubber--

[@MrBikedrummer]

The purpose of those sway bar bushings is to hold the bar so it CAN'T turn at those points. This way, the ends of the bar at the links acts as a spring tensioned lever to assist in giving a more firm and controlled suspension. It loses this torque ability if the bar can turn in the clamp that holds the bushings. I used to grease them, but found out that they perform much better if the clamp is bolted tightly to the frame.

Is it cheaper to buy a new radiator hose?

[@ianbuilds7712]

​. I work at a parts store and most passenger car and small truck bushing sets are about 18-30$.. So not significantly no.. Some vehicles are impossible to find in store.. Based on the overwhelming shottyness here im betting this truck somehow has a different bar on it and that's why they are illusive for this fella. I did bushings on a stock t100 a year ago and got them at local Napa for 23.99.. It is easy to come by old hose but More importantly rad hose is too soft for most cars and just the wrong kinda rubberl I think hydraulic hose or a piece of tire would be better but anything that isn't positively held in will definitely walk out over time...especially given the oil-leakiness of a t100😂

[@LarsonFamilyFarm-LLC]

@@kojam1 Metal in the sway bar should last 30 years in the salty moist environment of Canada...rubber components not exposed to sunlight, in extreme cold would last 100's of years, in extreme heat rubber breaks down after 30 to 40 years. The original sway bar components lasted 30 years and were still going in Texas heat...heat killed it here in Texas, not rust.

[@edwardmmanns7454]

And it most likely outlive the vehicle.

That looks like an upgrade to the actual bushing, which, by the way usually in my country are made with a rather flimsy material. Here you have rubber with nylon reinforcement and a composite rated for high pressure and temperature. Well done Sir!!!! Cheers!!!

Great idea. The rear bracket for the sway bar bushing on my son's Camry broke. I took a soda can and cut it and formed a bracket and put that on the bushing and covered it with the old bracket and it worked.

It's 1am and I've been trying to get the brackets over two new sway bar bushings for several hours now. The new bushings are the correct size but will not close up around the sway bar enough to allow the clamp to seat on the bushing. Some have commented that the only way to install the new bushings is to go buy a longer bolt with the correct thread pattern. You use the long bolt to seat the clamp and bushing onto the sway bar and then you back out the long bolt and reinstall the original bolt. I don't have a long bolt so I am going to use this hose method with the old bushing. Thank you for the alternative to new bushings. Great video!

im glad you fund a solution, some times new bushings dont make the bolts fit well, thanks for sharing and stay bless.

There are still a few things that can be cobbled up for no cost. Another was the starter on a 1996 Buick Regal I once had. Of course if someone would turn himself in to a dealer or most independant mechanics, the starter would be replaced with a brand new OEM one for hundreds of dollars. But i was lucky. This starter could be unbolted and fixed. The two copper contact posts for the plunger in the solenoid were worn down and not making electrical contact with the plunger. All I had to do was unsolder the lead wires to each contact and rotate each contact 180 °, reattach the braided wires, then smooth down the contact surface of the plunger and the starter was fixed and lasted the rest of the life of the car.

WHOA! This is nuts. Guess if you're flat broke it'll get you by.

And spending a lot more on a new sway bar later as well as new tires due to the instability of the rear suspension. Jeez, just spend 15 bucks on new bushings, get the right ones and lube them generously. Doing this kind of repair on a suspension you'll need all the blessing from God you can get.

Quite often utilizing thin stainless steel to outline the rubber allows less play and longer durability. Most newer vehicles have a similar concept such as my 04' Passat Wagon.

I thought of this. you mean wrapping the sway bar in thin stainless where it contacts the bushing to take up space? I thought it might cut the bushing though. also thought of some buytyl flashing tape or a piece of bike inner tube but thought maybe it's too soft. any thoughts?

[@BigSteve_Gaming187]

@eedom69 depending on the tire. If not a mountain bike tire, the outside may work. Depends really on the sway bar's bushing shape. Just want to make sure it provides some play but not a lot. There are plenty of different thicknesses of stainless steel. Deburring tools help with sharp edges well. A thin layer of silicone between the metal and bushing may help. Luckily, sway bar bushings aren't as tough to get to if you perform some trial and error options.

[@courier11sec]

And the oil leak will eat that radiator hose even faster than the 8 dollar set of bushings it is placeholding for. To be fair, I used this method (but with leather) to repair an idler arm that I couldn't find years ago and it held up, but it wasn't getting a constant oil bath. Great repair if you just need it to get you by until the correct parts arrive.

[@eedom69]

I just got new bushings but they don't seem very tight on one side.

Okay for a roadside fix but definitely not permanent. Just get good quality poly bushings and fox the alignment geometry on the truck . Alot of times when the ball joints, control arm bushings, tie rod bushings, etc are worn out they will put added stress on the sway bar bushings and anything else ……..your tires are usually the telltale sign that you need to rebuild your front end. Chopping inner edge, balding tires especially on edges. Worn coil springs will also need replaced in many cases.

[@JM-AUTO]

worn coil springs lol that would never happen maybe rusted and broken but worn never happens my source ,,,,, me I'm a spring smith ,,,,,,, i have to admit im going right to my car and inspecting my sway bar bushes cheers

[@mastercraftcc]

Good fix for now but if you order them 3 times and can't figure out how to measure for the correct ones maybe shouldn't work on own stuff rite parts fix it the first time

[@JM-AUTO]

thanks for sharing.

Great video but I do it differently. I losen the the bolt then I find old bushes and I cut it in chopstick shape. I add it in the bush one by one until it is fit enough then I thighten the bolt. Never had any issues since lol

[@JM-AUTO]

Sounds great! and thanks for visiting my channel.

Can do that true. Can also buy polyurethane bushings with the special grease they come with to make the last. The ones in there look like plain rubber, they are all floppy. Polyurethane bushings are tough, they are robust and not flopping. They also do not swell and get soft if they get engine oil on them.

[@JM-AUTO]

Did not find bushing for this truck any where.

[@jambo717]

I believe him when he says they are better than new bushings alone. I doubt after market or even oem bushings can fill out the individual wear patterns of different vehicles especially once it reaches the metal stage of the part. Why not over compensate a little and eliminate those areas altogether..Sounds good to me. Thx.

Smart man You know how many hoses Ive thrownout?Damn i had enough for a life time of repairs LOL

[@JM-AUTO]

thanks for the time on the channel, that is very appreciated.

I have use of a mechanics lift when I change my oil at every 5000 miles . At that time I liberally spray all the rubber bushings , CV joint boots , etc with 303 Protectant . To help resist them from drying out and cracking . In the Philippines there are two men that make rubber bushings out of old tires and ?

Great to hear! and thanks for the Sub and watching this video.

[@chewy98ta28]

Better to go with new bushing and add a grease fitting if you do a lot of driving.

[@JohnOomen-pc8bi]

This would be great but I think the piece of radiator hose will eventually and quite quickly just work it's way out.

[@russellstephan6844]

Used tires... Used tire rubber is one of the most versatile, durable, and plentiful commodities available to the fabricator and inexpensive repair expert. I can't even recall how many times I've used the stuff for serious life-of-item repairs.

[@furyfantoo]

Bicycle innertube material is handy for some things also, like insulating to eliminate squeaks in the dashboard.

[@Sunsetschano]

I have wondered if using old tires would be good for making motor mounts as well. Innovation and creativity is a God send especially these days when everything cost so much.

[@furyfantoo]

@@Sunsetschano Yes, 're-using' is the first/best action in the recycling world, yet most folks don't practice it. For motor mounts, you would need to have something to limit the engine raising in the mount. Some OEM mounts do this by vulcanizing the rubber between 2 metal brackets, if fixing one like that you need to incorporate some type of mechanical restraint.

[@Sunsetschano]

@@furyfantoo I wish more people took to recycling things. Maybe our planet wouldnt be as dirty then. But I will continually think of a way to make a motor mount out of old tires. Well worth it to me and once I figure it out I will share it with everyone.

[@Sunsetschano]

@@furyfantoo Hey is that a 66 Coronet on your pic?
