8.3132 | Front Control Arm Bushings for Toyota 4Runner 1996-02
Polyurethane Front Control Arm Bushings 1996-2002 4Runner 2/4WD
Polyurethane Front Control Arm Bushings from Energy Suspension will replace the worn rubber control arm bushings in your 1996-2002 2/4WD 4Runner resulting in even tire wear and reliable camber during a turn for the life of your 4Runner.
Control Arm Bushings and Camber
If the bushings holding your front control arms are worn out then the alignment of your wheel (Camber) can be affected. This is even more dramatic in a turn as the weight of the car shifts to the outside, when flexing rubber bushings allow a lot of movement in the control arm, causing your tire to ride more on its edge. This can cause uneven tire wear and you might even notice your 4Runner pulling to the side while driving straight.
The Durability Question
Those original rubber bushings are great at absorbing some vibrations from the road, but they do this by flexing. Now when you think that these bushings are responsible for holding your tires in a straight up and down position you might wonder, "How much flexing should be going on?" Not only this but the flexing along with motor oils, heat, and road salt cause rubber bushings to degrade.
If you regularly find yourself on back roads like those around Stephenville, TX then rubber bushings will undoubtedly become hollowed out and your 4Runner's front wheel alignment will shift. Now you could just get more stock rubber bushings, but what if there was a longer lasting solution?
Poly Vs Rubber
Energy Suspension's polyurethane front control arm bushings are much more durable than rubber and twist in the control arm's housing rather than flexing which holds wheel camber to a degree that worn rubber bushings can't maintain in a sharp turn.
The most common complaint about polyurethane bushings is that they allow more noise and vibration to pass from the road to the driver. Since polyurethane is a more durable material, some increase in NVH is unavoidable but Energy Suspension uses a durometer (hardness level) of polyurethane that is durable but with enough give to absorb some of the harshness of the road.
Complete Bushing Replacement Kits
If the rubber front control arm bushings on your 4Runner need to be replaced then odds are some of your other suspension bushings are showing signs of wear as well. If you like the idea of more durable bushings throughout your Toyota then Energy Suspension offers Complete Bushing Replacement Kits for...
These kits will replace all the rubber suspension bushings in your Toyota with Energy Suspension polyurethane and are backed by the DST exclusive lifetime warranty.

The lower bushings were a bit of a pain to install and I didnt use the upper bushing but they have up great.

So far it has been really good there isnt any wear or cracks on it. It makes the ride a little stiffer than stock but other than that so far so good.

Having to reuse original parts, in particular having to dremel off the original washers and reuse them is ridiculous. There are other kits that include new sleeves and washers for a few more dollars. The amount of wasted time and reuse of 20 year old parts is not much of an upgrade in my opinion.
