Glad it worked out for you!

Just out of curiosity, where did you get the bushings so others can know where to get them?

ShockWarhouse.com is SLIGHTLY cheaper for the hour-glass bushings, and if you order the rear tundra 5100s from them, it'll be enough for the free shipping.

There's also a $5 off $100 coupon: fiveoffretail

Rear 5100 bushing measurements?

Sounds like the Bilstein replacement bushings have been recently upgraded to urethane to ward off customer complaints about warn out bushings. Has anyone done the measurements on the 5100 to see which Energy Suspension/Prothane Suspension would fit the bill? I've gathered that it needs a 3/4" center, but in Prothane's catalog, they offer both 1 1/8" and 1 1/4" diameter bushings with a 3/4" diameter center hole.

Bringing this to the top again.

I've seen different options for replacement bushings (The Summit's above 98108G, Daystar KU08007 and the Energy Suspension 98108R). All of them seem to be the 4 piece hourglass design but they also seem to not have a metal bushing like was asked above.

Is a metal sleeve an additional needed piece? The metal sleeve is the reason for the change in bushings in the first place.

why

why do you have to do this? whats wrong with the bushings that come on the brand new Bilstein 5100's?

Is it bc your putting tundra shocks on a 4runner or are the Bilstein bushings that bad that you should swap them for poly?

The bushings that come installed in the shocks are too small to fit over the mount on the 4runner axle housing. Too bad because they are nice bushings that look like they'd last a long time. I bought two sets of bushings that will fit the 4runner just in case they let go.

Here is what the shock looks like out of the box next to the bushings I used.


The stock bushings were super easy to install. Less than 5 minutes for both shocks.


The stock bushing, although too small, looks like it would outlast the 4Runner replacements.


Inside diameter difference.

so it wasn't too hard using a c clamp with the sockets right? i was planning on doing the same and hoped not to need to use the carriage bolts etc.

It was not hard at all. If you try it and there is some resistance whack the side you'd put the small socket on with a hammer. Place the larger socket face up, or down, on a work bench. Lay the shock eye on it and hit the metal part of the bushing with the hammer.

Hopefully this would break it loose and make the clamp easier.

Oh no, i meant for pressing in the new bushings. I was able to press out the original bilstein bushings out alright.

I was asking about pressing in the daystar bushings. Thanks tho

The bushings go in super easy. In fact, you can get them started by hand and in a good ways before you need any "tools". I used a carriage bolt and sockets only because I couldn't find my big C clamp.

My Daystars slide in by hand. No tools at all. The Daystars are kind of thin so they conform and slide in easily. I bought two sets just to have a spare in case they wore out on a trail.

Bringing this thread back from the dead. Tried the C-clamp method with a $6 clamp from harbor freight. Worked well once, but the clamp broke on the second bushing. I'll see if HF will warranty the clamp, lol. Other wise, great write up, thanks! Insertion for my new energy suspension bushing was simply by hand and a couple of taps with a rubber mallet.

Thanks! Drove me to try this with what I had.

I was about to rent tools for this, but tried this method instead. Worked pretty good for me!
