Can anybody lead me in the right direction for a correct part number and good quality for front sway bar bushing for my 2012 3.7 v6. I got a set from the auto part store and they’re small in width and over tall didn’t seem to go around the sway bar very well. They were Moog. Didn’t want moog to begin with but that is what they had I’ll post a pic below of the difference. Oem is wider and shaped differently

not sure exactly, but I'd check with Steeda and BMR for good aftermarket bushings, and they should have the fitment information too

Are you sure you don't have the original and replacement bushing ba$$-ackward mixed up in your photos above?

The narrower and larger ID bushing sure looks like it is the one that is worn out to me while the other one looks barnd new

First, dont judge fitment (bore size) against the old bushing since it has been compressed and has gotten wallered out over the years. The new bushing WILL fit tight and in fact most likely will not close up the slit until the bracket is tightened down to pinch it closed. Best I can tell for some reason Ford doasn't sell the front sway bar (roll bar) bushings seperate.

However, it looks like both V6 & V8's both have 34mm bars stock. I put a set of Prothane bushings on mine a few years ago and they are doing great.

Yeah idk I just didn’t like the way it fit. I was tightening down the bolts no where even close to being completely tight and it was squeezing the bushing out the side of the bracket

Nope but I didn’t like the way I fit around the bar. As I was tightening the bolts it was squeezing the bushing out the side. Not even half way tight
