8.5142 | 19mm Rear Sway Bar Bushings | 1996-2009 Toyota 4Runner
19mm Rear Sway Bar Bushings 1996-2009 4Runner 2/4WD + GX470 2003-2009
Energy Suspension's Polyurethane Front Sway Bar Bushings will replace the soft rubber bushings on your 96-09 4Runner or 03-09 Lexus GX470, reducing body roll and providing more traction from the rear during a turn.
Rear Traction and Body Roll
Having traction from your rear wheels during a hard turn in your 4Runner could help you avoid a disaster, but if you're still running the original rear sway bar bushings then you might have a problem. The sway bar is responsible for keeping the rear wheels connected so the inside wheel is levered down during a turn, but the rubber bushings that came with your 4Runner flex (which allows excessive movement in the bar) or they wear down until they are loose (which means the bar isn't even being held securely).
Companies use rubber bushings because it's cheap and in many suspension situations it can reduce a lot of road noise and vibration, but since the sway bar doesn't hold any vehicle weight like some suspension components there is no transfer of vibration.
Better Handling + Durability
These 19mm rear sway bar bushings help your sway bar keep your back tires flush with the ground during a sudden turn, providing traction that could potentially keep your 4Runner from fishtailing into the ditch or oncoming traffic. Besides the increase in handling performance these bushings will outlast their rubber counterparts every time. Heat, road grime, and regular wear will eventually degrade rubber bushings till they fail completely, but polyurethane is unaffected by these elements and will last the life of your 4Runner, which we back up with our DST exclusive lifetime warranty.
The bottom line is that these polyurethane rear sway bar bushings reduce more body roll and last longer than rubber.
Time-Proofing your 4Runner
4Runners easily pass 250,000 miles with regular maintenance and it is almost a surety that your sway bar bushings won't make that mark intact, especially if you're hitting the trails on the weekends. If you purchase these bushings and like them then you probably want to take a look at the front sway bar bushings or even replacing all of the suspension bushings on your 4Runner with one of Energy Suspension's Complete Bushing Replacement Kits.
