steering stabilizer question

[poomasta]

so i finally got the damn thing off (in no small part due to the tips provided on this forum), and i'm about to replace it with the OME version...but i damaged the rubber donut things that were part of the mount (i tore them/grease came out). prob a dumb question, but i assume i need those when installing the new stabilizer, right? is that a common part i should be able to pick up from the local auto parts store, or is that something i'll need to order?

thanks,
mike

You know, it's a good thing the OME stabalizer came with new bushings. 'Cause I tore the crap out of mine as well, and bent the stabilizer rod, and messed up the male part of the stabilizer.

Then, 15 seconds of heat + air hammer pickle fork = goal achieved. I wish I had just done the heat/ air trick first. That would have saved me about 1/2 an hour of headache.
