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

Polyurethane bushings, like these from Energy Suspension, allow your sway bar to function at its maximum efficiency. They provide a firmer connection compared to stock rubber, which can lead to noticeably improved handling and reduced body roll during turns.

How long do these bushings typically last compared to original rubber ones?

Energy Suspension's Hyper-Flex polyurethane is designed to last significantly longer than OEM rubber. This means you won't have to worry about replacing them as often, as they resist wear and tear much better over time.

What size sway bar do these bushings fit?

These specific front stabilizer bushings are designed for sway bars with a 19mm diameter.

About this part

Product Details

If you're looking to get the most out of your sway bar system on your 1980-1988 Toyota Pickup or 4Runner, these front stabilizer bushings from Energy Suspension are a solid option. They're made from Energy's Hyper-Flex polyurethane, which is known for lasting significantly longer than the original rubber bushings that came from the factory. By replacing worn-out rubber with this durable polyurethane, you allow your sway bar to work at its full potential, which can make a noticeable difference in how your truck handles, especially during cornering.

These bushings are designed to be a direct replacement for your stock ones, making installation pretty straightforward. The key benefit here is improved handling characteristics. When your original bushings get old and soft, they don't effectively control the sway bar's movement, leading to more body roll. These polyurethane units firm things up, giving you a more connected feel to the road and making the sway bar system much more effective. It's a popular upgrade because it offers a good balance of improved performance and ease of installation.
