Hey guys, I installed ES front sway bar bushings a while back. The pass side is completely worn out and pretty much doing nothing at this point (half of it is gone). What are you guys using for your front sway bar bushings?

Also, Im going to replace the steering rack to...any suggestions while Im swapping it?

 

How long did these ES bushing last? They should last quite a while. I always use Moog because they are readily available. Im replacing my steering rack soon but have never done it before so I don't have any tips or tricks to give you right now. I can tell you to keep an eye on the boots once you put the new one on because if it tears and you don't replace it quick enough the whole rack will need to be replaced again. GL though

 

I put the EC in about 4 years ago. Recently when I put the Delrin bushings in the front and took out the SuperPro bushings I had in the control arms I noticed the passenger side ES bushing was torn and nearly gone. The only thing holding my sway bar on that side is the metal bracket.

I installed new sway bar end links at the same time that I did the ES sway bar bushings and they are still in good condition.

Im not doing the steering rack until the engine is out....It leaks like a slob but Im not gonna mess with until I get everything else out of the way.

 

190,000 miles on original bushings, still tight too.

 

Damn 4yrs, that's pretty good to me for like 25 bucks....

 

lol....im not complaining about the price. but my 10 year old stock bushings were still there when I removed them to instal the ES ones. Im just concerned that there is NO bushing on a integral part of the suspension. Ive not ever had this problem on prior ES bushing installations.

Has anyone else had an issue like this with ES? I take it this is the only option other than stock.

 

I had to replace my ES sway bar bushings and one control arm pivot bushing. They lasted 4 maybe 5 years.
