Energy Suspension sway bar bushings

AggieSpec · 2008-09-03 02:51:14

Hey guys, i was replacing my sway bar endlinks and bushings and stumbled upon this: The ES Urethane sway bar bushing kit. its universal, and comes with 8 bushings. our cars only need 4 for the front. its only $12 at the local Autozone. And its a great replacement for the old rubber things.

The part number is : 9.8105R

The washers may seem too small to fit, but just use a bit of muscle and they will slide in. it should look like this when assembled.

Yup, I've had these on my car for a while too, nice and cheap and are better than stock.

its not hard at all, just make sure you have two wrenches and a deep socket. 14mm wrenches and i think a 12mm on the bottom nut. you may have to jack up the other side when you are taking one side off if the sway bar is in tension still. if so, just jack it up a bit on the opposite side and relieve the stress.

PS: i didnt know about these being used at all, i just needed bushings and i tried them out at the Autozone counter and they fit.

if the old stuff is old and worn, yes. It'll be more communitive, and better road feel. And, put in full use of the sway bar.

btw, does anyone know if the nismo bushing set comes with these bushings as well?

You guys need to do an alignment after removing and reinstalling?

No
Doesn’t affect wheel alignment and takes less than 30min to do.

You dont have to pull the end link to install these, just push the sway bar up when you take the bottom bolt off.

Does anybody know the part number for the actual sway bar bushings?
9.5158 -greaseable
9.5126 -nongreaseable
9.5108 -nongreaseable

Looks like you will have to measure to find out which one will work [see link]
Also, get the greaseable ones because if you don't grease the poly bushings every so often, youll be hearing creaking sounds from your front end.
