Sway Bar End Link Bushings (new info)

I actually dug this part number up in a much older post, but it has been talked about a lot lately...

So you want to pay $2.47 EACH for these???

These are just standard end link bushings found on millions of cars and minitrucks. Only thing is, most of these vehicles use eight of them. (4 per side)

Energy suspension sells the exact 4803(G) bushing in an 8-pak as part number 9-8106(G). The price for ALL EIGHT is only $7.00 retail from http://www.suspension.com

Here's the page they are on...

Good Luck!

Actually, as new part numbers have come out and things have changed, the part number for the 8-pak may have changed. I called www.suspension.com over the phone and ordered the bushings, and they said that particular part number didn't have those exact bushings... but he would be more than happy to package eight #4803 bushings in a bag for $7.00

Go to their website for their phone number and they'll hook you up. Go ahead and order a pair of the sway bar frame bushings for $7.00 and control arm bushings for around $28 while you're at it.

Good Luck!

Hey not to sound to stupid. But where exactly would you put these at.
On the rear sway bar (the aftermarket one) or are you replacing the stock ?something? with these.

If you are using a harsher spring (Eibach, Sprint, GCs, JICs, etc) I wouldn't suggest you install these. The NVH becomes a serious problem.

I noticed no increase in noise when I added endlink bushings.

The noise increase is attributed to the excess vibration.. which I'm assuming you have (since you didn't pick on that)?

No extra noise or vibraton with my setup either... and I've got poly sway bar bushings, endlink bushings, and control arm bushings. There are no noises coming from the suspension, and zero vibrations in the wheel. Of course, I did the work myself, and took 2-3 times as long as most while making everything was perfect and installed correctly. All parts were cleaned, and plenty of care was taken.

The suspension is a bit stiffer, but I attribute that to the AGX shocks and MaxSpeed springs.

Good Luck!
