Wife was getting the all too common squeak over every bump in the road and worst over speed bumps

Hopped on here and after a quick search found many people's advise about replacing sway bar bushings

$16 later for a new pair of bushings and the Explorer is silent again! Cleaned the sway bar itself thoroughly and put some synthetic grease on the new bushings as well so hopefully this one will last

Thanks again to all the great people of this forum
 






I too just did this after all the rain we have gotten in So. Cal- its been over a month with more rain and still no squeak, Im stoked on the fix. The grease was expensive but worth the price
 






Does anyone know what size bushings i need for an 05,v6,4wd? I was gonna get some but there are 1 11/32",1 3/16",and 1 7/32"
 






I took one of the old bushings out and brought it to the store with me
