Default Steering Stabilizer Bushing Help

Hello All,

I have a rough country steering stabilizer N2O, and im in need to the axle side bushing that goes in the stabilizer. When i took it out to put in my CavFab Steering, the bushing that was in it just fell out, and i saw that it had only been in about halfway. Im pretty sure i didn't install the bushing correctly when i got the stabilizer since it came uninstalled. I already called rough country to see if i could order another bushing and he proceeded to tell me that there was nothing he could do about it since all the steering stabilizers he sells are preinstalled with the bushings. When i told him mine was not, he just said it was not a rough country stabilizer (even though it came with a full kit i bought from them) and refused to help me any further.

So if anyone can help me find this bushing, or any bushing that will work i would be greatly appreciative! Its a 1" ID hole, and needs to have an inner metal sleeve for the bolt. Thank you to anyone that has any information!

Any shock bushing should work. Just make sure it's the correct diameter

Bingo. You can pick up a couple Energy Suspension shock eye bushings at most AutoZone, Advance Auto or Pep Boys locations.

I finally got the bushing in, and its a perfect press fit. The metal sleeve out of the old bushing also fit perfect. Thank you all for the info!
The pics below are for future reference in case anyone needs to do this as well.
Part#:9.8116R (for red bushing) 9.8116G (for a black bushing)
