Bushing Replacement Kit - Energy Suspenion?

[OffRoadGuy]

230k on 98 4runner and I think its time to replace all the bushing. Did some search on here, but I can't find anyone installing a complete kit that has all the bushing from control arm to rack/pinion to sway bar.

Energy Suspension has a master kit for 95-00 Tacoma stock # 8.18104G for $160 on amazon. Has anybody install this kit before and is it complete? Some say they make noise? Some are happy after a year or so. Your suggestion and thoughts please. Thanks!

The energy suspension tacoma kits are the only ones i've seen. You could always replace with new OEM...

If you go with energy suspension see if you can get the black version with graphite impregnated in the material. They will squeak less than the red, maybe not at all.

Edit: just noticed you did link the black graphite kit but it shows red in the pic.

That kit will only work for the front A-arms and sway bar end links.
You will also need the bushings for the rear upper and lower control arms which Energy does not make. However they do make they for the 92-97 4runner. (Although I dont know if the bushing sizes are the same as the 98-2002 Runners)

I've got the red ES bushings on everything and I've not had any squeaking. I got the ES control arm bushings from Toytec when I ordered a bunch of stuff, though they're still sitting on my garage floor ...

Thanks guys. I'm going to give ES a call tomorrow and ask why they don't have a complete kit for 3rd gen 4runner. Also will ask what will work. If they don't I might bite the bullet and go with OEM.
