Question About End Link Bushing Swap

[RPC]

Hey all.

I did the sway bar and end link bushing swap on my 2008 SR5 but was unsure whether to reuse the stock middle washer present in the stock end link bushing assembly.

Anyone done the EL bushing swap and can tell me whether I should be reusing this washer?

I used the Energy Suspension Bushings when I extended my rear links and did not reuse the stock middle washers.

Thanks morphious. How long ago did you do the swap?

Anyone else? Anybody keep them?

You don't need it, the notched side of the bushings point towards each other and you use the supplied outer washers that come with the energy kit.

Huge difference in body roll by the way...

Sorry Tom, I didn't get it. Had to take my iPhone into Apple for service and the loaner they gave me is a nightmare- thought you didn't get my email... Haha.

Thanks for the response though!

Thanks drop.

My truck feels worlds better on the road (even though I did reuse those washers). Guess I know what I'm doing this weekend!

Have had mine for over 6 months, works great and no problems.
