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

Polyurethane bushings, like these from Energy Suspension, are much more rigid than rubber. This allows the sway bar to transfer force more effectively, leading to improved handling and reduced body roll. They also tend to last significantly longer than rubber before needing replacement.

How difficult is it to install these sway bar bushings?

Installation typically involves removing the old rubber bushings and mounting the new polyurethane ones in their place, often with the original sway bar brackets. While it's a bolt-on job, access can sometimes be tight, so referring to a service manual for your specific Ranger model is recommended.

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

This set includes the two 27mm black polyurethane sway bar bushings. You will typically reuse your vehicle's original sway bar mounting brackets and hardware.
