swaybar bushing

01 X 4x4 front swaybar bushing bad at 48k. It's the top bushing that mounts to the frame. Should I replace with the same factory bushing???

Re: swaybar bushing

Or consider a polyurethane replacement. They tend to squeek, but WD40 seems to solve that irritation.

Re: swaybar bushing

Stick with originals. I ran polyurethane and they don't last long. They tend to widen up and bar will float back and forth giving you major clunking over bumps. I'm talking about the ones on the axle. Are you talking about end links? Don't know if anybody makes those with polyurethane.

Re: swaybar bushing

When I bought an Energy Suspension poly bushing kit for my front anti-sway bar on my Expedition, it came with new end links that included poly bushings. Not sure if it's the same wiht the Ex.
