Alternative for Whiteline LCA bushings

[Timmy1909]

Seeing that Whitelines are out of stock and back ordered until late November... Is there any alternative? I have some cheap aftermarkets in there now and it is causing serious problems. Would the Energy suspension kit ( 8.3132) be ok? MOOG, OEM? Here is my 4runner so you know what I have

I Belive that you can still get poly bushings, but you have to burn the rubber out of the old ones and press the new poly bushings into the old metal sleeve.

I went OEM on mine. A lot of guys claim you won't have to worry about squeaks that way...but you do pay a serious premium.

I use the ES. Like stated you have to burn the old rubber off the OEM internal sleeve but its really not that tough with a blow torch. The good thing about ES is you dont need to do any press work. The whitelines need pressed back in.

I went with Strongflex. It is too soon to comment about durability but so far so good (only been a couple weeks). Requires pressing out old bushing including outer metal sleeve.

I ended up ordering Energy Suspension's poly bushings... I did call autoanything and they said they drop ship from the manufacturer and DO NOT HAVE THEM IN STOCK.

Thanks for all your reply's
