hello, looking for front sway bar bushing for a 97 park ave ultra...is this a dealer only item, ebay, auto parts replacement, or junkyard item?

Check RockAuto for Stabilizer Bar Link, I think they may have what you need, I just do not know enough to say if one of those is what you need or not, I am still learning....

i think i found it at advance...thanks i'll report back once it comes in

Sweet, hope it is right once it comes in, and you're welcome.

Let us know if that part works. I bought some stuts and bushings from Advance for my 1998 SSEi. They made a thumping noise every time i hit a little bump in the road. It was sooo anouying. i observed that they looked to be a little loose. I took them back apart and put a couple flat washers on top of the bushing just under the nut. Sure enough the noise went away.

Are we talking stab links or bushings here?

Ok...a mechanic screwed up...I need k-frame bushings...where would be the best place to purchase: jyard, dealer, or automotive store?

Ok, are you talking about the bushings for the frame to body?

Yes the bushing that mount body to frame

Autozone has them listed. I think I seen them around $30 or so for your car.
