Sway bar bushings

[ponkotsu]

Got an awesome discount on brake parts at Advance auto so I'm finally going to do the brakes this weekend. Figure as long as I working near the wheels I should change out the clunky sway bar bushings.

I tried the poly bushing about 15 years ago on a car, and they were noisy and failed very quickly. Has anyone used the Energy Suspension brand? Are they any good?

Also regarding the rear sway bar, is it necessary to replace the entire link or just the end bushings?

FYI, this is a 2000 Mountaineer.

ES polyurethane bushings are very durable. Use the black (G) bushings impregnated with graphite to reduce squeaks.
Rear end link bushings can be replaced by torch or press. Double check part numbers and sizing. FAQ link on bottom.
