Front Sway Bar Bushings | Toyota Tacoma 2005-2013
Energy Suspension 8.5152 Front Sway Bar Bushing set for Toyota Tacoma 2005-2013 can hold your sway bar more secure and prevent body roll when you turn or sway. Rubber is a shock absorbent material that can provide a smooth ride, but hauling heavy loads or off-roading can wear rubber bushings down over time.
Rolling Into Symptoms
One of the symptoms that your sway bar bushings are going bad is the presence of knocking or squeaking sounds caused by worn or deteriorated sway bar bushings. This means that the sway bar bushings can no longer hold the sway bar in place which could lead to body roll. It is important to listen to your vehicle for when critical parts like the stabilizer bar bushing are starting to wear, which may need to be replaced by a professional mechanic to prevent body roll.
Weather and Road Conditions
Rubber sway bar bushings become damaged if they get soaked by engine oil, other vehicle fluids, or road salt. They get constant friction from rough driving and traveling on rough terrain, constant turning and potholes which can wear out the middle of the bushing. Heavy loads, creates a lot of pressure for the bushings when turning which means there will be a lot of pull and sway as weight is pushed during turns.
Lubricating Bushings
Polyurethane sway bar bushing sets last a lot longer than rubber, and polyurethane is better due to it being stiffer and stronger. Poly does not flex as much as rubber, it holds its shape and the bar much better during a turn. This Sway bar bushing set has grease grooves that are important for lubricating your bushings. They decrease squeaks and prevent corrosion from rainy weather. Sway bar bushing grease helps saves cost and prevents wear and tear that could result in shorter lifespan.
8 Years of Greatness
The Toyota Tacoma 2005-2013 has a very high consumer reports satisfaction ratio. So instead of using rubber sway bar bushings as a replacement that will eventually wear out use Energy Suspension polyurethane for a longer lasting part that will keep the sway bar stable during a turn.
