I got a used set of TC rods to do the bushing swap on, but they don't have the bolts that hold them in place. Can I get these bolts from somewhere or is it difficult to remove the bolts from my current rods?

An autoparts store will have them, however you can use all the bolts from your current ones (you bought stock rods right?).

I don't quite get why you bought used rods. Pressing bushings in takes like 1 hour at a machine shop, return them if you can.

DON'T USE ANY ENERGY SUSPENSION BUSHINGS, they suck.

First off, I didn't pay for the parts, they were thrown in with some other stuff that I got.

Second, after several years of modifying cars, I've learned a few things. One of those, is to reduce downtime and the potential to be without a car for a few days, you do the difficult work on spare parts and then just swap them. I can drop the bushings and rods off at the machine shop one day on the way to work and pick them up afterwards, then just switch the parts on the car. That way, my wife or myself aren't stuck driving the race car(with no AC) back and forth to work, if the machine shop is too busy on the particular saturday that I want to swap the parts.

At anyrate, thanks for suggesting the autoparts store, I'll give them a call, or just use the ones that are on the car if they come out easily

I have a used set with the bolts. You can have them if you just pay shipping.
