Bushing kits? Sway bars

Post by GamblerZ »

As long as we are doing everything else on this car, are there any recommendations for bushing kits and sway bars for the Hachi Roku? My son and I figured that there is no point going to all this trouble if the car's handling is sloppy from aging bushings.

cant go wrong with poly bushings. TRD stuff is out there, but hard to find. i think PASS Racing has prothane stuff in stock.

are you going for a full bushing kit? or just for the sway bars?

i have a couple extra bushings left over

but i went with pass racing's bushing kit i can't remember the price it wasn't too bad but they feel GREAT made a huge difference after changing out every old bushing

also T3 (techno toy tuning) they have a bushing kit it's a little more price wise but it's the same material used i believe so i believe the pass racing bushings are the best bang for your buck probably would feel the same as the T3

also TRD makes a rubber bushing kit i was going to look into im sure they would last a little longer but im not sure how much their kit is

Do you have a link? I can't find it that cheap. I must not be searching the same as you. Also, is Prothane good?

IF you feel like going thru the trouble, piece together a kit of what you need/want to replace using energysuspension black bushings. They're graphite (lube) impregnated and will not bind/wear quite as fast... plus they don't squeak after the assembly lube wears off (common complaint in the 4x4 world).

I'd recommend those for the fr/rear control arms and if they're are some that will fit the sway bar d-bushings.
