Does anyone have any idea how we can look up parts for the QX70, namely suspension related, using a different model as search criteria? I’m looking for something so simple, it shouldn’t take this long to find…I’ve been searching nightly for DAYS, just trying to find polyurethane sway bar bushings. I’d also like greasable brackets. Idc if they’re billet or steel. I THINK we have 34mm front and 28mm rear, but what I see for sale is mostly crap rubber, and in like 34.8mm, 27mm, etc.

I’m losing my mind trying to find these, and I’m waiting to put in new shocks and Akebono brakes until I find some so I can do it all at once.

Siberian Bushings is out of stock. Z1 doesn’t list our car as an option.
 
Have you measured the diameter of the sway bars with a digital caliper? You'll want to be sure of this before ordering anything. Have you checked Energy Suspension, Whiteline, and SuperPro?

I wouldn't get your hopes up, these 2nd gen FXs don't seem to be as well supported as the 1st gens were, likely because they shared fewer parts with the G and just weren't very popular.
 
Find the original part at a dealership and measure it in the store, i have done this in the past for a different car. Then go buy polyurethane bushings with embedded graphite in that size.

Well I didn’t get graphite embedded, didn’t even know that was a thing. I DID finally find some bushings though! Oddly enough they’re also the same as a Silverado. For the front at least.
 
FOUND SOME!!! I got 28mm from Energy, fit the rear like a glove. I got in some 34mm as well, and for some reason they seemed slightly loose…since a little too tight is better, I returned those and got what’s described as “33-34mm” from Energy, part number SD7383. Have yet to install, but I’ll report when I do.
The car is much more solid feeling with just the new rears. I think it’ll be exactly what I was shooting for with front poly bracket bushings installed.
 
I just checked again and the front Energy Suspension Part number I referenced is 33.34mm once converted from inches. I also tried to install Z1 Motorsports billet brackets with a 35mm bushing and honestly it wouldn't even fit into the Z1 bracket properly! Like not at all. They claimed it was correct, but it wouldn't even slide in the bracket (see photo). I mean I could have forced it to work, but I try not to do that when I have other options. The rear Z1 bracket fit perfectly, just like the OEM and Energy Suspension brackets.
