For the record, these are what I was talking about. They are indeed polyurethane and will hold up a HELL of a lot better. If you drive pavement a lot you will surely appreciate the immediate improvement these will provide.

@ $9.99 and 30 minutes its really a no brainer.

 

noahrexion, where can I get those. I need front and rear ones. I've been looking all over.

Please at least read the full thread. There is a link to an existing thread with the ES part number and noah even mentioned where he got them from.

 

What for? the obliviousness is far more fun, I'm on it after the dog park.

Ok the end links or links according to Toyota. So as previously stated the END LINK bushing is what I'm curious about. The entire thing OE will run you $74 ea. from Toyota. All I need is the bushings and the red ones in one of the previous posts should work.




The overall (difficult to get a good read) measurement of the bushing (lower one) is 30mm +/-.

Yup then you want the 3/8 ID bushings from ES pt # 9.8105

Yea I win again! I'll see if I can get these ordered asap.

Aaron

 

lol, i said that in my first post I guess sometimes it just takes 2 pages of posts

Aaron, you will be very happy with these. Even new OEM bushings don't compare. Be sure to give them a good greasing before/during install!

 

Yup, post #7 was the winner

 

Got the parts, just gotta install them now. What grease did you all use? I was told to use 100% silicone grease, anything else will eat them up. Also is there a certain torque # to use on the end-link bolts?

Thanks
Bob

 

For rubber, yes on silicone grease. For poly urethane, most anything works fine, I usually use a graphite loaded wheel bearing grease on mine. And on the bolt torque, no specific value, rather you want to tighten the nut until the bushing just starts to compress and that is plenty.

 

Roger that!

Aaron

 

so I should probably back mine off a bit. I just tightened the left side to match what the right side looked like; the bushings look like and endlink s'more.
