1990 serengeti oshkosh chassis sway bar bushings

Post by Joeoren »

Hi everyone I have a 1990 serengeti oshkosh chassis with a 8.2t detroit diesel pusher, I have not been able to figure out where to buy front and rear sway arm bushings from.
any suggestions?
I know this is the worst chassis to have in terms of parts availability.

Hey i actually went another route i did a little research and these are the freightliner part numbers ive come up with

these should fit all oshkosh 1989-1992 chasis

this is what you should need these are just the rubber parts.
i rethreaded my end link mounts aswell.
reused washers and bolts after some rust treatment and a fresh coat of paint.

HLP PB336 x 16

16-18321-000 x 4

hopefully this helps anyone else that may be looking.

Hi, I just saw this post about sway bar bushings. Would these rubber parts from Freightliner work for Magnum Velvet ride chassis sway bars as well? My bolts, washers, and rubber in shackles are good. I just want those rubber mini donuts for the long bolts. A Freightliner dealer with parts counter is near me. Thanks for your time.

Absolutely, go with POLYURETHANE bushings for better sway control and better bushing life vs rubber.
