3rd gen. Broken sway bar bushings

Bigkahuna808 · 06-27-2004, 02:52 AM

Im in a bind and have gone bonkers using the search engine to find what the Energy Suspension part number is. The only threads that come up are the Energy Bushings for the Addco bars.

The poblome is that I have 1 '97 4runner 2wd 3.4l With a Revtek lift. I broke the sway bar bushings and need new ones. I dont want to buy a Addco bar just yet. I just want to replace the stock bushings with Energy ones. I need to replace the stock front and back bushings for the sawy bar. Does anyone have the part number for the stock replacments.

thanks for the help guys, I just need to know. I hate the poping sound the bar is making. The people on Yotatech rule, thanks for the help.

Here are some energy swaybar bushings for the front, I cant find them for the rear on this website though? They only have them for 95 and under 4Runners and not tacomas either.

I think the front and back might be the same.

Front

I aleady orderd the day star from 4wheel parts. But its gonna be 4-6 weeks before they have it in stock. Im thinking of just canceling and buying the Energy susension ones. I hope some here in hawaii has them in stock. I dont wanna be driving around with this irking poping sound.

Does anyone have the part number so I can pick it up locallly here in hawaii. I cant wait another week to have the stuff shipped. The part number I tracked down is
Front: 9-5161-G which is the 1" greaseable bushing and in the rear 9-5156-G 3/4" greaseable bushing. I just want to make sure these are for the STOCK SWAY BARS, and NOT the Addco.

Thanks for the info guys, Im gonna order the daystar bump stops from wheelers on monday. Wheelers Off Roac rules, I got all my break lines from them already.

are the part numbers I dug up right????

Just an FYI...the stock ones are $7 at Toyota for all the front sway bar bushings. Is it really worth it?

Bigkahuna808 · 06-27-2004, 07:19 PM

IM lifted, so most likley Im gonna break the stock one in no time again. Plus upgradeing anything on my suspension makes the 4runner gods happy.

PoBoy · 06-27-2004, 07:30 PM

It's just rubber bushings though...I was lifted as well in my '96 - more than you it looks like...replaced em, never had a problem. $7 and your putting on factory 4Runner parts

The 4Runner gods may like that more

I guess I just dont see it as much of an upgrade...but a bunch of guys run em. Havent seen any complaints, but I havent heard anything great either. Im still waiting for someone to say they improved something greatly...

Bigkahuna808 · 06-28-2004, 02:14 PM

From what I read people have noticed less cracking and tearing in aftermarket bushings. Thats the main reason. For the endlinks Im planning on going with Nukes. I emailed them and never got anything back. Anyone got their phone number???

Bigkahuna808 · 06-29-2004, 11:16 AM

Bump it up...Does any one know the Energy Suspension bushing part number for the stock sway bars??????
