4crawler sells disco's with polyurethane busings, but no, they dont carry the bushings for the actual swaybar.

Probably you're not missing anything. Universal steering dampers sometimes look like that and you are expected to use adapters or sometimes brackets that clamp on your tie rod instead of the original mounting location. I would buy an Old Man Emu SD33, this is a direct fit upgraded damper for your truck.

As far as sway bar bushings, how about Energy Suspension? I've seen them at the 4x4 shops and Pep Boys. They have a website:

http://www.energysuspension.com

I've ordered stuff from Summit as well. They're usually good about getting the parts right, although sometimes they forget to tell you it's backordered for 2 months or some other important detail. But typically (particularly if you have the manufacturer's p/n) they get it right. Energy Suspension has an online catalog that you can get the correct p/n and then you should be good.

I would just return the stuff to Summit (I've had only good experiences with them too) and order from these guys (they are a supplier for energy suspension products): http://www.suspension.com/toyotapickups.htm

I do have a supply of poly end link bushings. If you need a set and can't find them elsewhere, I can get them to you. With the 2nd gen 4Runner, you likely only need bushings of one end of each end link.

This would be the end link bushing kit:



4 bushing halves would do one end of each end link, for a double-ended end link, 8 bushing halves would be required. Bushings are 1" OD and 3/8" / 10mm ID.

4Crawler.... id like to do the front and back... i think my links are single ended.

Do you have the bushings that connect from the sway bar to the frame?

Cost? Shipping to Calgary Alberta T3B 5X1

Thanks again.

I would need the dia. of the sway bar to get the right bushings for that. The end links are $20 for the full set (8 bushings halves) or $10 for the 1/2 set. Shipping would be $4.50 via Global Priority Mail (4-10 days) or I can get other shipping options (faster and less expensive options).

Steering stabilizers, just like shocks, have two main types of ends for mounting, loop ends and post ends. My truck takes a steering stabilizer that has two loop ends, and it looks like from your pics yours does too. They sent you one with two post ends, no easy way to make that work.
