Solid Shifter Linkage and Custom Swaybar Linkages

Got a fabricator to custom make me a solid shifter bush and trim some sway bar linkage rubbers and insert a crush tube.
Bought some universal sway bar linkage rubbers. Trimmed 3mm off the thicker end and got a crush tube 8mm ID and 10mm OD to get pressed into them. I noticed the stock ones were tearing. Hence the crush tube.







How to get at and install them:

The original rubbers i bought:

Trimmed away 3mm because the stock swaybar linkage rubber uses a flared edge/recess where the washer goes into.

The original pressed in rubber grommet shell. The original grommet isn't solid and uses an air pocket to cushion the shifting.
Apparently was a bitch! to get out.
And cut the ball stud caps out of the older rubber to put it in the new one
