Energy Suspension Sway Bar Bushings
Energy Suspension Hyperflex Sway Bar bushings are made of polyurethane, which is a much more durable material for suspension bushings than rubber. Polyurethane does not break down due to road grime, weather or oils the way the rubber can. Have the peace of mind knowing you have a long lasting part on your sway bar with Energy Suspension's sway bar bushings. Energy Suspension's polyurethane sway bar bushings provide a secure grip on the sway bar and do not warp over time. With this snug grip, your vehicle will see a performance boost similar to installing a larger sway bar.
Faulty Rubber
A sway bar's function is to maintain the maximum amount of road contact during tires. The sway bar is held to the frame of the vehicle with a sway bar bushing. Original Equipment rubber can warp and/or crack, losing its grip on the bar. This causes your sway bar to lose its effectiveness. Just look at the old rubber sway bar bushing to the left. Imagine how good of a grip that thing could keep on a sway bar. Go with Polyurethane.
Be sure to use Formula 5
The sway bar bushing sees a lot of action, so make sure you grease it well with Energy Suspension's own Formula 5 Bushing Lubricant. Using plenty of grease is the best way to ensure a long lasting part without any squeaking. If you'd like some extra grease just in case, pick up an extra 3 pack or an 8 ounce tube.

Energy Suspension 8.5132
starstarstarstarstar" Excellent stock replacement/upgrade "
Took a few weeks to receive...nobodys fault because they were back ordered...but excellent communication all along the way.\n\nThe included grease packet was a pleasant surprise...didnt need anything else but my own tools. Installation was a snap. The bushings are split, so you dont have to slide them over the end of the sway bar...just use a screwdriver or other flat tool to "open" the bushing, and work it in place. All the original hardware and brackets can be reused, but since my old rubber bushings were soft and squishy, it took some muscle to get the hardware started.\n\nI bought these bushings to solve a noise problem, and the noise problem has been solved Whether there is a performance gain, I couldnt say...Im still running on stock replacement suspension components, but if these bushings ever wear out, Ill be replacing them with the same.

I replaced the bushings because I could hear a clunk from the rear of the car, it was hard to tell if the original bushings were worn, however, fitting the new bushings solved the problem and one year later they are still working fine. Thanks
