Sway Bar Bushes

Sway bar bushes are the polyurethane bush kits used to replace worn rubber bushes at the sway bar chassis mount positions and sway bar link pivot positions. The sway bar, also called an anti-roll bar, connects the left and right sides of the suspension to resist body roll during cornering, and the mount bushes at the chassis bracket positions are the primary means by which the bar is located and through which its torsional loads are transferred to the chassis. Worn sway bar mount bushes allow the bar to shift and knock in its brackets, reducing its effectiveness and introducing metallic clunking and increased body roll that worsens progressively.

At the sway bar link end, worn link bushes allow play to develop between the link and the bar or the control arm, contributing to knocking under suspension travel and reduced sway bar response. Quality polyurethane replacement sway bar mount and link bush kits restore correct bar location and link pivot compliance, eliminating mount noise and improving sway bar effectiveness and handling balance across all driving conditions. The range covers front and rear sway bar mount positions, front and rear sway bar link upper and lower positions, sway bar to control arm positions, and a comprehensive range of universal mount bush kits in dimensionally specified sizes. Installation time is approximately one hour per kit. All products are backed by a lifetime warranty.

Why Upgrade Suspension?

Sway bar mount and link bushes are among the most frequently worn and replaced suspension bushes on any vehicle, yet they are also among the most overlooked until failure is obvious. Factory rubber sway bar mount bushes compress and harden over time, losing their grip on the bar and allowing it to move within the bracket. The early signs, including a faint knocking or tapping from the front or rear suspension over small bumps, are often normalised before the underlying cause is addressed.

Replacing worn sway bar bushes with correctly sized polyurethane alternatives restores the correct interference fit between the bush and the bar, securing the bar within its bracket and eliminating mount noise immediately. Polyurethane sway bar bushes also grip the bar more consistently than rubber under torsional load, delivering more immediate and precise sway bar response that directly improves cornering balance and body roll control.

Sway Bar Bush Range

The sway bar bush range includes:

• Front Sway Bar Mount Bush Kits: Vehicle-matched polyurethane bush kits for the front sway bar chassis bracket mounting positions, available in the specific diameter required for the applicable vehicle and sway bar.
• Rear Sway Bar Mount Bush Kits: Vehicle-matched polyurethane bush kits for the rear sway bar chassis bracket mounting positions, available in the specific diameter required for the applicable vehicle and sway bar.
• Front Sway Bar Link Bush Kits: Bush kits for the front sway bar link upper and lower pivot positions, restoring correct link compliance and eliminating play between the link and the bar or control arm.
• Rear Sway Bar Link Bush Kits: Bush kits for the rear sway bar link upper and lower pivot positions on applicable platforms.
• Sway Bar to Control Arm Bush Kits: Bush kits for the sway bar direct-to-control arm mounting position on applicable platforms where the sway bar connects directly to the arm without a separate link.
• Universal Sway Bar Mount Bush Kits: Dimensionally specified polyurethane mount bush kits in a range of diameters for non-vehicle-specific sway bar mounting applications, including aftermarket and custom sway bar fitments.

Why Purchase Sway Bar Bushes?

Worn sway bar mount and link bushes are the most common cause of the suspension knocking and clunking that workshops encounter on everyday vehicles, yet the repair is straightforward and the result is immediate. Renewing worn bushes with correctly sized polyurethane alternatives eliminates mount noise, restores correct bar location and link compliance, and returns the sway bar to full effectiveness in a single short service.

For workshops, sway bar bush replacement is a high-frequency, high-impact service that delivers a noticeable and immediate improvement in NVH and handling character with minimal labour time. For vehicle owners, a correctly specified polyurethane sway bar bush kit ensures the bar is properly gripped throughout its service life, maintaining consistent cornering balance and roll control for longer than factory rubber alternatives.

Compatible Vehicles

Sway bar bushes suit a wide range of vehicles, including:

• Passenger cars, wagons and SUVs requiring front or rear sway bar mount or link bush replacement at the chassis bracket or link pivot positions.
• Classic and performance vehicles requiring sway bar mount and link bush renewal as part of a suspension overhaul or to improve roll control and handling balance.
• 4WDs and off-road vehicles requiring front or rear sway bar mount or link bush renewal following wear or suspension modification.
• Commercial vans and utes requiring sway bar mount bush replacement to restore correct bar location and reduce NVH.
• Any vehicle fitted with a standard or aftermarket sway bar requiring mount bush replacement at any diameter, including applications where universal dimensionally specified bush kits are appropriate.

Installation and Support

Sway bar bush kits are designed for accurate installation at the front and rear sway bar chassis bracket and link pivot positions. Installation time is approximately one hour per kit. The correct mount bush diameter must be matched to the sway bar diameter for the specific vehicle and application. Universal mount bush kits are available in a range of diameters to accommodate non-vehicle-specific fitments. For additional technical assistance, a dedicated support team is available to help ensure correct product selection and sizing for the specific application.

Repair and Upgrade

Sway bar bushes are manufactured from high-strength polyurethane engineered to withstand the torsional load, vibration and environmental exposure that sway bar mount and link positions are subject to in everyday and demanding use. Resistant to oil, heat and road contaminants, polyurethane sway bar bushes grip the bar more consistently and maintain their compliance characteristics for longer than factory rubber alternatives, delivering more consistent sway bar response and reduced mount noise throughout their service life. All products are backed by a lifetime warranty.

Who Sway Bar Bushes Are For

Sway bar bushes are a practical solution for:

• Professional workshops carrying out routine suspension servicing requiring correct polyurethane sway bar mount and link bush renewal to eliminate knocking, restore correct bar location and improve sway bar effectiveness.
• Experienced DIY users replacing worn front or rear sway bar mount or link bushes to eliminate suspension noise, restore correct roll control and improve cornering balance.
• Performance and enthusiast vehicle owners upgrading sway bar mount bushes to polyurethane to improve bar grip and deliver more immediate, consistent and precise sway bar response during cornering.
• Anyone fitting an aftermarket or upgraded sway bar requiring correctly sized polyurethane mount bushes from the universal range to suit the specific bar diameter.

The right sway bar bush kit restores correct bar location and link pivot compliance, eliminates mount noise and delivers more immediate, consistent and precise sway bar response through every corner.
