Default 1952-1953 Station Wagon Sway Bar Bushings

Does anyone know of a source for 1952-1953 Ford Station Wagon front sway bar rubber bushings which have a larger id than sedans? Reaming sedan rubber bushings is a pain.

Thanks

Did you try putting them in the freezer before drilling them out?..... Mark

Nope, not at $6.00 a bushing. Nobody has indicated they have done it yet via freezing. Quite a controversial method according to web searches.

Yes; Wagon parts were the Police suspension option, works great. I froze and reamed out mine. soapy water is the right lube for rubber. Newc

Freezing them just makes them stiff and easier to drill out.....Mark
