I just bought a Front Sway Bar Bushing Kit for my 1989 GMC Sierra for $8.63 shipping included.

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.

Don't know about the bushings I'd be more concerned about the state of the tyres
-
Finally some ingenuity that doesn’t require 500 engineers and politicians to tell you how it should be done.
-
Soft rubber hosing won't hold up against the movement and pressure of the sway bar. It's a neat short term repair. Creative!

Drivers love him, Sway bar bushing manufacturers hate him.
-
This is a "fix" mechanic, unlike most that just replace parts. Thanks for the video!
-
I’ve done stuff like this for years keeping my junkers going. With the way the parts have been coming through lately I will probably be doing it again. Parts listed in the book don’t even come close and nobody will let you match the old part with the new so maybe you can find something that works on the shelf.

Fascinating. One of my buddies told me how his dad back in the 70s once got stranded on the road he spun a rod bearing. So he dropped the pan and made one out of his leather belt and then drove it 5 hours to get home

My motor head friend calls me mcgiever,for all the fixes I do! Love old hoses for many uses. I love the sway bar fix!! Good job.
-
I hope the clamping force will keep those hose in place, to keep from shifting horizontally and coming out. the orginal rubber bushing had raised sides for the metal clamp to lock in place from side shifting. Otherwise, great video.
-
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 video young man!! I've been somewhat of a shade tree mechanic for 50+ years and you taught me somethin i never thought about. Also I'm gonna subscribe Thanks for sharing be safe have fun enjoy

After reading the comments, I acknowledged that you're a good person, and your idea on the bushings is also. Am sub'n to your channel. Thanks.
-
Awesome. Thanks for sharing and thanks for your time🙏🏾. Just did this. Very well done👍🏾

Latino engineering saves the day every single time. I love tricks like this! As a construction guy I've learned quite a lot of them. 🤣👍 I'll probably do this hack on both of my old mustang's.
-
Now that's a GOOD trick to know. If you ain't got what you need, use what you got!
-
I will do this to my Honda civic which has 190k miles with very warm sway bar bushings like what you showed here. Thanks a lot for the tip!

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. The piece from the can kept the sway bar from pulling away from the frame and the old bracket kept the thin can from breaking. TFS Happy Motoring.

Gonna try this fix on 2011 Grand Cherokee, Only replacement available is the entire Sway Bar with bushings for over $200. Seems like Ideal way to go with this fix is nylon reinforced hose thats really stiff and would hold up better to the beating a bushing takes.
