Sway bar bushings

My sway bar bushings look like baked tomatoes. I am keeping my sway bar and am looking for advice in purchasing replacement parts.

Is this a decent replacement? Click here.

Price isnt an issue - I'm looking for quality. I am just not that familiar with who makes good replacement parts here.

Also, I am not that familiar with the front end in general. What else should I check out now that I have noticed these ugly bushings? (CV boots are ok).

Thanks
Kelby

i most often go with the Energy Suspension bushings

when you start to replace front end parts and bushings just replace as needed or if money is not a problem.

Buy the complete kit and do them all along with any hard parts that need done.

I know with some of these bushings you need to reuse the stock metal shells which can be a adventure in itself.

Agree ^^^ The ES master bushing kit is well worth it, but was a horrible experience to put everything on. Their included instructions are poor to say the least and it becomes quite the trial and error experience. You get a good deal buying it all together (tie rod, sway links, sway bar, control arms) vs. separately. If your sway bar bushings are shot, it would be safe to assume the rest of them aren't looking so hot either.
