Energy Suspension End Link Bushings installed!!!!
#61
rogcjms- Order the Energy Suspension End Link Bushing Kit. It's part #ENS-9-8122R. What you get is the bolts, washers, nuts, spacers, and bushings. Some have suggested buying shorter bolts, as the supplied bolts are too long. However, you can use the bolts in the kit by installing the spacer at the very bottom. The only problem is that they stick out from under the a arm about an inch. Hopefully, this helps you out. By the way, it was $23.64 and shipping only took two days.

Why buy the kit with the spacers??? You don't use them so why pay for them?

No they only come in the size you need. They are the only ones with just washers. You can compare size with the other kits that have the spacers and see they are the right ones. Just without the bolts and spacers. I wish I had saved the part # but they should be hanging in the same area as the other Energy kits.

energy suspension has many UNIVERSAL kits and autozone,pepboys, ect...only stock certain ones HIGHLY unlikely to stock the ones needed for our application....youd be better off getting the correct ones needed online......as far as the bolt the one included could be used but IMO its better to go with a higher grade bolt 1in shorter for more reliabilty and strength.....i have done these and a very nice result from them.......i plan on installing the sway bar bushings when i remove the rear lower motor mount to have it filled with urethane

Auto Zone HAS the Energy Suspension bushings we need for the front application.
The part # is 9.8105R It comes with all the washers needed and the 8 red bushings. Then all you need are the 2 Grade 5, 4 inch long bolts and and 2 NYLOCK nuts.
I got tired of hearing MIS-information and called my local Autozone and got the part# I used on my toaster.

Oh well I wasted enough time on you. Just stop encouraging people to order the whole kit from places where they need to pay shipping.
1. They don't need the whole kit
2. The kit costs over 8 dollars more then just the bushings and washers.
3. Most all places that sell Energy stuff will have this part number in stock.
Seems to me you are the dense one if you can't understand the words you are reading. If that's the case you might as well just throw your computer in the garbage now and save us from having to read your lame advise. You prolly don't even know how dumb you sound and I hope people can read what you say and know it's nothing but bull.
Bottom line is that AutoZone carries Energy stuff and I am 95% sure that most can get them without having to order them on line. Just ask for part # 9.8105R

sorry to hear its your time of the month.......but what "wrong information" is being given?...........i mean really explain to me how suggesting to people that obviously have internet access......to look for the part online as ONE OF THE OPTIONS......not the only option like you seem to be making this into, is giving out "wrong information"???

You stated that is was "HIGHLY" unlikely that AutoZone will have them. That is just WRONG plain and simple. In what way are people to believe that?
You also told everyone to get the whole kit but why buy stuff that you don't need? ie: spacers and bolts that are too long to use
You push your opinion like it's gospel. It also sounded like you didn't read any of the other posts before you shot off your mouth. You sound like a fool.
Do us all a favor and just go away. We were doing fine before you stuck your nose in and started spewing your untruths. You are too opinionated. Thats your main problem and it wouldn't be a problem if you were right! GO AWAY PLEASE???
Hopefully you didn't chase everyone away or give them a bad impression of this site.
It's also funny how in your last post you completely changed what you said in your first.

hey hey no fighting now. Well went to Auto Zone today for something else but I saw the engery suspension kits. I did see just the red bushings and the spacers only for like $10. They also had them in black too. I may pick them up tomorow and install them.
Question though, are these only for the front? or can they be put on in the rear. The kit comes with 8 bushings

I've had this done for a while now. It's definetl worth the $15.
i've noticed better hadnling, and better ride!
4 bushings go on each side. it goes: bolt head-washer-busshing-swaybar-bushing-washer-washer-bushing-control arm-bushing-washer-nut.
at least that's what i'm imagining in my head atm.

Do the polyurathane bushings make noise. I was talking with a guy at the tire store and he said that if I install the endlink bushings that they will "squeak real bad." Is this true?
Also, is it tricky to get the stock end link bushings out? Do you have to spread the arms apart to get'em out?
