Energy Suspension2.5111R 16mm Rear Sway Bar Set for Jeep

I liked the product.

Difficult to press bushings into sway bar but once installed the rattling noise from the loose rear sway bar stopped and Jeep definitely corners better on the road. Good thing I have a press. A vice would probably work too. I started with my vice but bushing kept popping out.

I bought these mainly to replace the factory sway bar end links on my 2002 Wrangler X due to them clunking around every time I went over a speed bump. The actual sway bar bushings are super easy to install if you use an appropriate amount of grease, which is supplies in the packaging. The end link bushings are NOT the kind with the metal inserts that go through the middle. DO NOT waste your time on those as the bolts that go through them are tapered and will not fit snugly, causing a horrible clunking sound. To get the bushings inside the end links, you will have to cut the bushings in half and push them through on either side. Why they didn't just use a two-piece design is beyond me, but hey it is a quick 5 minute fix with a hack saw. I have already recommended these to a few Jeep buddies of mine, and I wouldn't have a second thought in purchasing them if I needed to.

Good kit. Pretty easy to install. The big bushings that use the brackets and bolt to the axle were already split and slipped onto the sway bar easily. The bushings that go into the sway bar connecting links took me a bit to figure out..I ended up using a big C-clamp and a couple blocks of wood as a makeshift press, and they popped right in. Make sure everything stays centered though, or they will pop right out! And perhaps right towards you! Seems you cannot distort or misshape the urethane bushings...when pressing them in they will look like they are getting smashed beyond recognition, and they go right back to their normal shape when the pressure is off.

Fit perfectly. You need to press the bushings in the stabilizing bars.

This took care of the unexplained clunking that sounded like it was coming from behind the front seats. I found my OEM sway bar end link bushings were worn out leaving the links feeling loose and causing a clunk when going over bumps. install was straight forward using a bench vise to press them into place and using plenty of the grease provided in the kit.

Both Amazon and Energy Suspension matched this kist for my vehicle as compatible. However my sway bar is thinner than holes in sway bar bushings and that makes sway bar bushings unusable. When I reached Energy Suspension with this issue they said that I always have to measure my sway bar as Jeeps come with different sway bars. This answer does not make sense to me because service manual and an official part list is very specific regarding these parts for my vehicle: sway bar part # 52088002; sway bar bushing part # 52088125AB. I believe these parts are all 100% same size and I don't have to measure my sway bar before I purchase OEM Mopar bushing.I can't return that kit also because I already installed sway bar links bushings (I used a car jack and my truck frame to press bushings into links, worked like a charm)

I love these bushing. Easy to install. Fast shipping, great quality, no fabbing, or cutting involved. I will buy more for the other parts of the jeep. THANKS!
