Polyurethane front sway bar bushings

rodchester · June 14, 2002

Has anyone used replacement polyurethane bushings for the front sway bar instead of replacing the whole sway bar?

I had a universal 30mm set with grease fittings and just replaced them this week. Other than it being a PITA to do, everything worked out well. (Get a 3/8 drive 10mm universal socket! )

Go to "Energy Suspension"'s web site to get the correct part # then check with some the on-line suppliers to see who has them. I'll be doing the ends and replacing the rear spring/shackle bushings with poly as time goes on.

Lots of luck!

my local autozone now carries energy suspension sway bar bushings(the greasable ones), end links, tie rod boots, engine and tranny mounts. id try checking your local autozone if you have one close by.

The poly bushings will help tremendously if you don't plan on replacing the front bar. They will improve steering response quite a bit. The energy suspension kit is very good. I highly recommend them. The Auto Zone kit is a universal kit so make sure you get the right size. Also one tip--just make sure that you don't crossthread the sway bar bushings. These screws are self tapping so be careful.

Bringing this thread back from the dead. I want to put Energy Suspension bushings on my front sway bar and end links. I have a 2003 Silverado 1500 4WD. Can anybody help me out with the part numbers?
