Energy suspension bushings

Postby Rogue9 » Sat Sep 22, 2018 10:05 am

Does anyone know the replacement part for energy suspension bushings?
I'm on my 2nd set of OEM ones and want to try something different see if they last longer.
Oops dumb me. Front sway bar bushings, and rear I guess might as well replace them both.


Thanks.

Their product catalog doesn't show a 34mm option. I've tried the Prothane bushings in the past, but they split in the back along the frame like the original Nissan design and don't grip the sway bar tightly. Better than old Nissan rubber, but not better than less than two year old new Nissan rubber with the split on the side.

PRG makes a set of aluminum brackets with a more square edge where it meets the frame, along with polyurethane bushings to match. Fixes the issue with the stock bracket where it allows the back of the bushing to spread open, so you could use Prothane bushings as replacements. On my list of things to do.
