youre gonna need 2005 SS/SC sway bar bushings and reuse your stock clamps or youre gonna need to drill holes in your subframe to use the SS/TC bushings and clamps
this didnt work btw, bought the stock ss/sc bushings and tried to use my stock clamps...and the ss/sc bushings and ss/tc bushings looked identical...


diff part number..same part...
so i ended up modifying the stock ones i got with it...tried to modify the ss/tc bracket to work with our setup, but didnt want to drill, so i ground the outside of the bushing till it met the ls bushing outside dimensions...that works well :)
