The nut and cushion that connects the stabilizer bar to the lower control bar on my 94 runner are gone. Do I need to get a cushion from the stealership or is there a generic solution that will work?

 

Is your swaybar endlink still there, and it's just the nut and bushing that are gone? If so, just get a set of aftermarket bushings (I suggest using poly bushings... they'll last longer. Do a search to find vendors.) As for a nut, just go to a hardware store to pick one up.

 

Yes, the endlink is still there, just the nut & bushing that are gone. I just wasn't sure if aftermarket bushings were available.
