I have read allot of posts about upgrades, but that's not what I'm going for with this application.

I have a 72 Charger with a factory front anti-sway bar. It is a 7/8" bar. I have researched bushings and there seems to be only a few options.
1) Moog split rubber bushings.
a) seem to be a universal design.(it is the same for many makes and models outside of Chrysler).
b) is made for 13/16" or smaller bar.(which leads me to believe it will be a sloppy fit).

* Also has mixed reviews on fitment by customers. But not who left reviews had Mopars.

2) Polygraphite solid(no slit) bushings.
a) have more size specific options(a bushing for 7/8 & a bushing for 13/16).
b) only 1 review via Classic Industries(the review says it's the only one that has fit correctly).

*My concern is getting it to slide over the ends of the bar, even with soap/ lube.

So that leaves me with the question.

Does anyone have any experience with either style?
And what do you recommend?

Thanks in advance.
 
Energy Suspension has great poly bushings for the 66-69 stuff. Not familiar w later stuff, but their products are good.

EDIT: I just looked at their website. Looks like similar choices- 7/8 or 15/16' OD bar, in either red or black. They had good, clear instructions with the bushings I bought for my 69. I went with the black, much improved and can't tell by appearance the difference from stock unless close.
