Need to replace several bushings on my 2000 4runner.

Hey all, just installed my toytec lift and after I went to go get an alignment I noticed a clunk coming from my front end. After taking it to my mechanic to figure out what this noise was I was informed that my a-arm bushings were shot and need replacing. They were loosened when the alignment was done and since they were so old they are useless now. They quoted me WAY too much and I can do the work myself however I cant seem to find a polyurethane set anywhere. Does anyone know a company? From what Ive seen energy suspension doesnt carry these bushing for 3rd gens. Perhaps the tacoma ones will fit? If you know the answer or have a link that'd be great! Its a 2000 sr5 sport 4wd if that is important. Thanks in advance!

On somewhat of a side note Im also looking for good replacement sway bar links and bushings as well as sway bar bushings front and rear. Ive done a good amount of searching but everything keeps pointing me towards 4th gen parts.

Anyone?

I'm pretty sure the Tacoma bushings would work. I can't get any of the trademotion sites to work right now to verify that the factory A arms are indeed the same though.

As far as the Sway bar bushings, I don't remember exactly what part number i used, but they are out there. For links .. well i have some for sale in my sig, otherwise there are other options out there as well.

I would suggest doing the steering rack bushings as well while your under there and before you have them re-do the alignment.

I would replace them with rubber, this isn't a vehicle you are going to be autoXing or anything, and the extra harshness in the ride won't be worth it IMO.

I have been told that the Tacoma bushings from Energy do fit the 4runner. Can't find that thread right now, but some guys have used the energy ones on their 4runners. I might try it when I replace the front UCA's on mine.
