[DeTomaso] sway bar bushings

[asajay at asajay.com]

Yes, I acquired a 7/8 bar last year when I had all my suspension out.   
I need to replace the stock bushings.  I currently have a line on some  
sphere bar mounts that went unused from another member who updated to  
1" bars.  I've also had an offer for some used but good condition  
stock 7/8" mounts.  And at the outside, I've considered the energy  
suspension ones, there are a few places in Spokane I can probably pick  
them up at.

Thanks for the suggestions,
Asa Jay
