What is the main benefit of using polyurethane sway bar bushings over rubber?

Polyurethane bushings, like these made from Hyper-Flex, are significantly more durable than OEM rubber. They resist degradation from heat and road contaminants, leading to a much longer service life and maintaining their performance characteristics over time.

How do these bushings improve handling?

These bushings reduce the flex and play in the sway bar system. This allows the sway bar to more effectively counteract body roll during cornering, resulting in a flatter stance and a more direct, responsive feel when turning.

Does this set include everything needed to replace the rear sway bar bushings?

This product includes the rear sway bar bushings themselves. It is designed to fit the OEM sway bar and bracket, so you will typically reuse your existing hardware. Always refer to manufacturer instructions for complete installation details.

Product Details

When you're looking to get the most out of your vehicle's handling, starting with the sway bar bushings is a smart move. This set from Energy Suspension includes the rear sway bar bushings, designed to replace your stock rubber ones. They're made from Energy Suspension's Hyper-Flex polyurethane, a material known for lasting much longer than the original rubber components.

These bushings are key to making your sway bar system work at its best. By reducing flex and play, they allow the sway bar to do its job more effectively, which can lead to dramatically improved handling characteristics. This means you'll notice a difference when cornering, with less body roll and a more connected feel to the road. The 21.7mm size is specific to fit the OEM sway bar and bracket on a range of vehicles, including models like the Volkswagen GTI, Golf, and Eos.

If your current bushings are worn out or you're just looking for a more responsive feel from your suspension, this set is a solid option. They're a popular choice because they offer a significant performance improvement without needing to replace the entire sway bar assembly.
