View Full Version : Prothane Universal RSB Bushing Bracket 'Style B'? For Progress RSB on Gen 1

I got a set of new bushings/brackets for my Progress rear sway bar for my 2008 gen 1 GT sedan, the Prothane 22mm greasable kit, part# 19-1165, which only comes in their bracket "style A" for that diameter. Jimmy tried installing this morning and found the bracket to be slightly too small to line up with the bolt holes.

Ordering the 22mm bushing/bracket replacement kit direct from Progress would be $60USD shipped, kinda expensive, and doesn't have the convenient greasing nozzle.

Can anyone confirm whether 1. the larger Prothane bracket style B will fit (looks like it should based on dimensions), and 2. whether the 7/8" size bushing would be an acceptable alternative? (7/8" = 22.225 mm) I want it to fit snug and last a while.

And/or if an equivalent part from another brand can be sourced locally or online for reasonable money. Hoping for the bracket type with the greasable nozzle.

I do not know the sizing for these, but if they happen to fit, these would be on the top of my list.

Not available in 22mm like I need, and way too pricey for me. Look nice though.
