Mine make a clunking noise when I don't grease them regularly. When I took my old ones out they were cracked and obviously very dry.

I just ordered front and rear sets from Energy and fronts 29mm fit perfect, but the rears 17mm are way too small! Everything I've seen online says the rear sway bar for an '05 sport 4wd is 17mm but mine is quite a bit bigger. Any help?

I can't find my notes, but I recall that the rear sway bar is about the same as the front (2004 V8 4x4 Sport).

I did the same thing and ordered a 17mm with the same results. Try the 21MM. I got the prothane kit #19-1164-BL. Comes with zerk fittings.
I also have a 2005 Sport V8

don't want to start a new thread...
reviving this one for a simple question (too cold to go outside right now and look on my runner). I read this entire thread and saw about larger washers being recommended, thank you.
I'd like to replace the factory bushing bracket bolts, Front and Rear.
Can anyone confirm the sway bar bushing bolt size is 8 x 1.25? same as the 3rd Gen writeup

What length are the stock bolts if they are 8 x 1.25 as well? I want to replace the oem bolts with some Gr8 or SS hardware while doing this mod once the weather warms up. Thank you.

really? 11 pages of people installing these poly sway bar bushings and no one knows the size of the bolts that hold on the bushing brackets?

When you replace something on your truck, do you usually take off all the bolts, measure the thread pitch and length for no apparent reason, and then re-install the bolts? Didn't think so, lol
Why don't you just go pull one out of your truck and measure it, it would be a lot more accurate and probably faster than sitting around waiting for someone to tell you.
BTW, no such thing as grade 8 metric bolts, you're looking for grade 10.9. And also don't bother with consumer grade SS bolts, they are almost never pressure rated and much weaker than 10.9 bolts. Definitely don't want that anywhere near load bearing components

Actually I do measure each bolt.
It's below zero outside, I have no garage, I work all day and I'll be damn if I'm going to lay on the frozen ground in the dark with 30mph winds trying to remove a stupid bolt. It's not that important, just figured I could make my lunch break useful by buying some parts I know I'll need once the weather warms up and I install the bushings. (eg. figured the forum could help save me a step by sharing information... that is the point of this forum, isnt' it?.... )
you're correct on the grade. meant to type GR8 equivalent... was working on my Harley so had imperial units in my head....

The fronts are M8x1.25, not sure if the rears are the same. Took me a few trips to OSH because the bolts wouldn't thread into the M8x1.25 test thing they had, only the M8x1.50, kept confusing me, but eventually figured it out.

Thank you for sharing this information. So the front bolts are 8 x 1.25 and the rears are 8 x 1.25 also or 1.50 or you can not remember on the rears?

I am thinking about doing this mod, but had some questions on replacing the rear endlinks.
1. When replacing, do you leave the rear swaybar in place?
2. Do you have to unbolt the top nut, then pull the rod out in order to get to the bushings to replace them, and if so, do you have any tips or tricks on how to do this?
3. Do you keep your 4runner on the ground to change these, or do the wheels need to be off the ground?
