Heavy Duty Swaybar endlink bushings

[Josh C.]

Hey all. Who makes a heavy duty swaybar end link bushing? The other day I went with some buddies to this new place to go shooting. To get there you have to handle some pretty rough trails. The other guys I went with have 4wd vehicles. Happily my Ex made it, and it was awesome. It made me want a 4wd vehicle to do it more. Anyways, when I got home I checked my suspension to make sure everything was ok and I noticed that all my front sway bar end link bushings were split in half. I think they were Mevotech.

Thanks. Is Energy the way to go? Do they have a superior product compared to the brands on Rock Auto like Moogs problem solver?

Well I can't tell you witch is the best. All I can say is I have had the energy sway bar end link kits on 3 different explorers for years and have yet to have any problems with them.

Agree, the ES poly end links have a tried and proven history. The Moog's are a relatively new product from a very reputable company. I suspect Moog will eventually discontinue the old K7275 design that is notorious for blowing out
blue thermoplastic bushings. Or you can replace only the bushings with polyurethane, depending on 3/8" or 7/16" I.D.
