Energy Suspension bushings a must for Addco's sway bars

After listening to the rear end links for a couple of months. I finally got the bushings and installed them yesterday. I couldn't believe what a difference these made.

Front- 9.5165 & 9.8117
Rear- 9.8103 & 9.5161

Thanks,
John

i thought that the addco's came complete with endlinks that already had poly bushings? am i mistaken (probably ) or are the supplied ones just poor quality? and how did they make a difference, better feel in corners?, quieter?, solid connection?, all?

just curious, addco' sare on my to do list (along with way too much other stuff....ahh toyota )

Yes, do tell. And supplier, please.

I've listened to some horrendous squeeking from the front end for months now, especially when going slowly over bumps like railroad tracks, curbs, small animals ...

I just assumed that the noise was coming from the old stock suspension, but now that I have SAWs up front and everything is new, I'm beginning to suspect that it's the endlinks.

Would replacing them with disconnects be helpful at all, even if I don't plan to off-road very much?

Thanks.

No more noise, soild over bumps, steering feels better, etc.

Summitracing.com

Just use the part #'s I gave you(minus the . I think). I added a G to the end of the part # for black bushings. There are other colors available.

Neither of those P/N's work on the website with or without the period. I've been wondering what the correct bushings for the end links were as I am currently running only the stock bottom rubber bushing because I couldn't fit them both and get the nut on with the thicker sway bar. I get a nasty banging going over bumps and it seems to wobble a little bit. I also think the cornering could be a bit better, but I believe that all that is due to the end link bushings. Maybe I'll stop by the Summit Racing store on the way to school tomorrow and see what they come up with.
