I'm looking to replace the panhard bar busching on my 01 4Runner. The current one is old and worne out. I can hear it clunking all over the place every time I'm driving.

Can anyone help me out with a part number for either a Toyota replacement, or even a energy suspension replacement; or better yet a link to buy one? Also, i would love to know what Toyota calls the Panhard because the local parts department can't figure out what it is I'm looking for.

I found this link for energy suspension busing replacemnt for a track bar busching on a second gen 4runner but I wasnt sure if it would be the same part:

I also found this energy supension track bar bushing replacement for 4th gen 4Runners:

Can anyone help me?


Thanks in advance,

I think the parts catalog calls it a "Lateral Rod"

But I bet if you called Energy Suspension they could prob give you a part # that will work

Welp I just called Energy Suspension and they claim they skipped the 3rd generation 4Runner on that part. So... Would anyone know if either of the above linked parts are the same and will fit?

How does everyone solve this problem? I've read more than a few times that people are having problems with worne out panhard bar busching but I cannot find a solution besides buying the Sonoran Steel adjustable panhard.

Toyota made the bushing on the 3rd gen's lateral rod a captive type. meaning, you buy the bushing with the rod. it's so un-Toyota isn't it? the 2nd gen's bushing won't fit as it is bigger than the 3rd gen's. best bet would be to buy bigger PU bushings and then cut it to fit the 3rd gen's
