front sway bar

[beallen21]

Someone throw me a bone on this one, I need front sway bar bushings for my 98sr5, the bushings where the sway bar mounts to the frame, and I can't find the stupid things online any where, only ones for the rear, and none of my local parts stores can get them... i need em like yesterday too

I bought this kit and while I was at it I also bought bushings for the steering rack also and will be replacing them all soon.

You can get them from the dealship or you can order them from autozone, checkers or napa.

wabfaboffroad I think sells them as well but don't quote me on that one.

Nix the dealer idea since you'll easily pay double.

 

[beallen21]

yea and I've tried the parts store thing and they have no dice either

Did the Wheeler's Offroad thing, awesome site to get stuff from too, They'll be seeing alot more of my money in the near future

oh and is it just me or does EVERYBODY you buy 4runner parts from try pawning a set of bump stops off on you, I mean I have three brand new sets of bump stops now that I will never put on, it's beyond me

Moog makes them. I don't have the part numbers handy but just bought all of them for the rear (including complete end links) at O'Reillys.

is the kit a simple install? Ive never even looked at my swaybar....Seems like a good, cheap mod to do as long as i can install myself. anyone know of a writeup?

I wouldnt really call this a mod, its just simple maintenance/repair. Its very simple to do, as long as you know how to loosen and tighten nuts and bolts, then you're fine. Take the front wheels off and away you go.

It is a maintenance upgrade since you are going from factory rubber bushings to polyurethane which will give firmer control over stock.
