I probably won't be putting it on until Spring anyway. You do know Dec.15, 2013 in on a Sunday this year . What are the chances of putting grease fitting in those flanges? can they be drilled and tapped and can the rubber bushing be groved without damage ? Just asking

Outstanding  :thumbs:.  BTW Dave, is Werks shipping or is the vendor shipping directly to us?  Reason I'm asking is because I'd feel more comfortable knowing Werks inspected them to make sure they have been manufactured to spec.

They will be coming to us and then shipping out to you all so we can check everything out first.

There is a possibility for Christmas delivery for some but I really do not think so, I am very sorry!  I am putting the squeeze on the manufacturer as best I can.  Since we first had our prototype made about 2 years ago, they replaced their machine and did not have the measurements from them so we had to start from scratch again!

Yes, I am going to offer this as an option, it is something that we are going to have to do in house.  Once I receive the new brackets I will post up details on the grease fitting option.

Just got word all of the bars are finished and will be shipping shortly!!!

New WERKSracing Tubular Front and Rear Adjustable Sway Bars group buy pre order!

I know that some have had issues with stock front bars squeaking but realistically what is the advantage having greaseable sway bars other than being able to say, "I have greaseable sway bars"?  :D

The stiffer poly bushings that we include are more proan to squeaking than the OEM rubber bushings so they need to be lubed once or twice a year depending on how often or the climate of the location the vehicle is driven in.  The grease fittings will allow easier servicing with a grease gun versus having to remove the bushings and lube them each by hand.

So we're going to be shipped the swaybars first and greaseable bushing will be offered at a later date?  Is there a timeframe (and price) you're shooting for on these bushings?

No, once I receive the new bars I will get the pricing for the optional grease fittings and post it up here.  That way if you want me to ship your bars with the grease fittings we can do so, it just might take some extra time to get them all sorted out.

Since we have not seen any pricing on the grease zerks, do you still not have the sway bars?

The sway bar shipment has not yet arrived, sorry.  I have already left a message this morning with the manufacturer to see where they are at.  As soon as I have more info I will post it here and on the Solsticeforums for sure!

Zerk Grease fitting option = $20.00 for all 4 brackets.

I will include the Zerk grease fittings on all of the bar kits for the ones who have ordered and paid for them already to help compensate for the added time this is taking.  Sorry again it is taking so long!  These quality, 100% American designed and manufactured bars will be worth the wait!!!

1 LIL NDN had to back out due to his recent very tragic loss of his life partner so we have a spot open if anyone wants a pair at the group buy price.

Bobby - So sorry for your loss again...

JoshMcMadMac - I posted the open spot only because I get PMs almost daily regarding any openings to get in on this list.

Regarding the ETA - I wish I had more information at this point, I just didn't have any new information, ETA or updates to post yet from our manufacturer.  I generally like to wait until I have some info to share and I put a message in yesterday to get an update and as soon as I hear back I will post that information here and on the Solsticeforums!

Sorry again guys it is taking so long, not much longer I promise!!!
