    Lightbulb Noisey Suspension?? Here's the cure and extra benefit!

    After having a noisy suspension for a while now, I got tired of having to use a high pressure wash to get the grit out to quiet it down. The bushings are right on the bend of the bars and that allows for all sorts of stuff to accumulate.
    While taking the old bushings off I could see all of the crap that builds up and was actually wearing into the bar itself.
    I did some research, and came up with a set of polyurethane sway bar bushings that fit our trucks that have grease fittings.
    Now, there are 2 benefits to having these new bushings.
    #1) Polyurethane IS much stiffer and resiliant than rubber and reduces the amount of sway in corners and higher winds.. I was very happy with the results!
    #2) The grease fitting affords the abilty of using grease as a sealant, keeping stuff out while allowing you to refresh the lubricant and flush out any debri that has does have a chance to accumulate. All the while, quieting down the suspension noise... I can go through a deep dip and have complete suspension compression with no noise at all!


    They are very easy to change out and the results ARE very impressive!

    *** I don't want to delete the thread, I may modify it though. Anyway, I've been getting some Paypals as of late and I just wanted everyone to know that I'll be changing the first posting but, I no longer have these items for sale.. I'm very sorry. here's the part numbers;

    Energy Suspension

    Front: 9.5163G Greasable Sway Bar Bushing Set 28MM

    Rear: 9.5156G Greasable Sway Bar Bushing Set 3/4” 19MM
