Color
Prothane Red vs Black
Black, or Red? Red, or Black?
Prothane makes bushings in both colors. But is there a difference in them? Is one harder than the other? There are a lot of misconceptions about the color difference in Prothane's bushings, so let us at DST clear that up for you.
How are these two colors different?
Aside from the actual color, there isn't really a difference at all between the red and the black. They are the same durometer, or hardness, so they will perform the same and both should last the life of your vehicle.
What about the graphite rumor?
The black bushings do have a small amount of graphite mixed in with the polyurethane which has the potential to help with squeaking. But really, the best way to prevent Prothane bushings from squeaking is to use the supplied pre-lube* and grease them properly at install. So whether you choose the red, or the black, just be sure to grease them properly to avoid any squeaking.
* Some types of bushings only compress, such as body mounts and endlinks, and do not come with grease because they do not need grease. So if your kit comes with grease, be sure to use it!

Size / Type
Why are there so many different sway bar bushing sizes for my
application?
Much to the dismay of many buyers - almost all automotive manufacturer's
used several different size sway bars in their vehicles. There is no rhyme
or reason to this practice. It is random and different between cars of the
same make, model, year etc. The ONLY way to ensure you're buying the
correct size bushings for your car is to actually physically measure the
sway bar. The is most commonly done one of two ways.
1 - Wrench method. This is quite simple - just take a set of
wrenches and see which one fits over the bar correctly. For example -
if a 18mm wrench fits perfectly over your sway bar - then you have an
18mm sway bar! Not all of us are lucky enough to be able to us this
method as there are at times mid-sizes like 23.5mm etc. See below if
you fall into this category.
2 - Crescent Wrench Method. Just a little more complex than the
wrench method. Simply tighten down your adjustable crescent wrench down
over your sway bar. When it's tight - slip the wrench off and measure
between the ends of the prongs. The distance between these is the size
of your sway bar.
Buying the correct size bushings is VITAL to ensuring optimum
performance from your sway bar. Bushings that are too large will not
properly grip and support the sway bar. Likewise bushings that are too
small may simply not fit over the bar and make installation impossible.
