Hotchkis front sway bar bushings

Where can I get them?
Hotchkis didnt answer my email yet!

If the Hotchkis front sway bar is the same size than the TRD sway bar, maybe I can try at the dealership!

Anyone have part number or some good informations?

Re: FS. 24mm Rear Progress Swaybar 03-08

Hotchkis (no more available)
Ultra Racing (i got a "different" swaybar, that can be add to any other "normal" swaybar)
Progress
TRD (made by hotchkis)

Hotchkis and TRD are bigger than progress.

Progress is the best bang for the buck rear swaybar.

Re: How To Remove Factory Seat Covers

That's weird because I put seat heater pads on my Matrix XRS 2005 and I dont have this thing! I have a switch somewhere because I also have a seatbelt light for the airbag. But I never see this sensor on my car!

Re: Installed! Seat Heaters on both front seats.

That sucks for the broken plastic trim. I will try to avoid that!

I will begin with the passenger side because that way, I can take my time and I still can use the car.
