Nolathane Suspension Parts at Advance Auto Parts

Advance Auto Parts stocks Nolathane across the US, supported by 16 distribution centers and 33 market hubs. That makes our suspension repair and upgrade parts easier to get, whether you order online, pick up in store or have your repair shop source them for you.

Worn suspension rarely fails all at once, so the signs are easy to miss. It creeps up as clunks over bumps, vague steering and a car that leans harder than it used to in every turn. Our job at Nolathane USA is to fix that with suspension parts built to outlast the ones they replace, and having Nolathane on the shelves of a national auto parts retailer puts that fix within reach of far more drivers and workshops. Every part we make lives up to our promise: Softer. Stronger. Smarter. To see every retailer that carries our range, use our Nolathane stockist finder.

Nolathane Sway Bars and Sway Bar Kits at Advance Auto Parts

A sway bar, also called a stabilizer bar or anti sway bar, links both sides of the suspension so the vehicle stays flatter through corners. When the factory bar is too soft for the way you drive, or for the weight you carry, a sway bar upgrade is one of the most effective ways to cut sway and sharpen steering response.

Our sway bar range covers front sway bar and rear sway bar kits for a wide spread of vehicles:

•             Heavy Duty Sway Bars: Thicker spring steel bars for vehicles that need more control than the factory setup, with front bars from 22mm to 38mm and rear bars from 16mm to 33mm.

•             OEM+ Sway Bar Kits: A step up from factory stiffness for drivers who want a better balanced vehicle without changing its character.

•             Adjustable Sway Bars: 2- and 3-position adjustable bars that let you tune the balance between understeer and oversteer.

•             Sway Bar Vehicle Kits: Front and rear sets matched to suit your vehicle, so both ends work together.

•             Sway Bar Links: Vehicle-specific sway bar end links plus universal cut-to-length links for custom and lifted applications.

Most full sway bar kits come with the bar, polyurethane mount bushings and brackets, and some include links as well. Compared with many aftermarket sway bars sold as a bare bar, that means fewer extra parts to chase down before the job is done. The payoff is less sway, steadier lane changes and better cornering traction.

Nolathane Control Arms for Trucks, 4x4s and Daily Drivers

Control arms hold each wheel in position and carry a big share of the load through the front end. Once the bushings or ball joints in a control arm wear, a full control arm replacement is often quicker and better value than rebuilding the old one.

Our control arm range includes:

•             Upper Control Arm Sets: Heavy duty adjustable and fixed offset upper control arm sets, including geometry-optimized arms built for lifted vehicles.

•             Lower Control Arm Sets: Front lower control arm sets in heavy duty adjustable and fixed designs, plus OEM+ complete lower control arm sets supplied with ball joints.

•             Rear Control Arms: Rear control arm and trailing arm sets, adjustable rear lower arms and radius arms for solid-axle 4x4s.

•             Ball Joints and Dust Boots: Sold separately for when the arm is still good and only the joint needs attention.

Many kits supply a left and right pair, and several offer caster and camber correction to bring a lifted truck or 4x4 back into alignment. Our control arm coverage includes popular US models such as the Toyota Tacoma, 4Runner, FJ Cruiser and Land Cruiser, the Jeep Wrangler TJ, JK and JL and the Gladiator, and the Nissan Frontier, Xterra and Pathfinder.

If you are replacing a lower control arm or upper control arm because of a worn bushing or ball joint, a complete Nolathane control arm assembly gets every wear point fixed in one go.

Nolathane Polyurethane Bushings and Bushing Kits

Our US bushing range covers every suspension position on the vehicle, from the front sway bar right back to the rear leaf springs. Whatever has worn out on your car, truck or 4x4, there is a good chance we make a polyurethane replacement for it.

The main Nolathane bushing kit families include:

•             Sway Bar Bushing Kits: Polyurethane sway bar bushings and stabilizer bar bushings, offered in standard and greaseable designs, plus sway bar link bushings for the end links.

•             Control Arm Bushing Kits: Polyurethane control arm bushings in standard form and in camber and caster correction offset versions for vehicles that need alignment help.

•             Leaf Spring Bushing Kits: Leaf spring bushings with greaseable shackle hardware for trucks, SUVs and classic rear ends.

•             Trailing Arm and Subframe Bushing Kits: Trailing arm bushings and subframe bushings that keep the rear end located under load.

•             Differential and Steering Rack Bushing Kits: Differential bushings and rack mount bushings that cut the slop out of the driveline and steering.

•             Body Mount, Shock and Strut Bushings: Body mount bushings, shock absorber bushings and strut mount bushing sets that stop squeaks, knocks and rattles.

•             Vehicle Master and Essential Kits: Complete polyurethane bushing kits that cover the whole vehicle or the most common wear points in one box.

Not every store keeps every part number on the shelf, which is exactly where the Advance distribution network earns its keep.

How 16 Distribution Centers and 33 Market Hubs Get Nolathane Parts to Your Local Store

Advance Auto Parts runs its supply chain through 16 distribution centers and 33 market hubs across the US. The distribution centers hold deep stock, while the market hubs sit closer to stores and carry the less common parts that a single store would not normally keep.

For you, that setup means a Nolathane part for an older or less common vehicle does not have to be a special order from overseas. Parts can move from a hub to the store near you far faster than waiting on a long shipping lead time.

It also means repair shops and fleet workshops can plan suspension jobs with more confidence, because the parts are sitting in a US network built for quick turnaround.

Buying Nolathane Parts at Advance Online, In Store or Through Your Shop

There are three practical ways to get Nolathane through Advance Auto Parts, and you can pick whichever suits the job.

Order Online and Pick Up In Store

Search for your part on the Advance website, order it and collect it from your nearest store. This works well when you already know the Nolathane part number from our part finder and want the parts ready when you arrive.

Walk Into Your Local Advance Store

If you are searching for suspension parts near me or bushings near me, your closest Advance store is a good first stop. Bring your vehicle details or our part number and the team can check stock or order the part in from a hub.

Have Your Repair Shop Source Them

Advance supplies professional customers such as garages, service stations and dealerships. If a shop is handling your suspension work, ask them to quote Nolathane parts and order them through their Advance account.

Replacing a lower control arm or a set of sway bar links? Fitting fresh Nolathane bushings to the surrounding positions at the same time saves paying for the same labor twice.

Worn Suspension Symptoms That Point to Bushings, Sway Bars or Control Arms

Worn bushings symptoms and control arm problems creep in slowly, so most drivers get used to them before they notice anything is wrong. These are the signs we see most often on vehicles that need new parts:

•             Clunking or Knocking: A dull knock over bumps or driveways usually points to worn control arm bushings, sway bar bushings or sway bar end link bushings.

•             Extra Vehicle Sway: More lean in corners and a floaty feel on the highway are classic bad sway bar bushings symptoms, and can also mean the factory sway bar is too soft for the load you carry.

•             Wandering or Vague Steering: Worn steering rack and control arm bushings let the wheels move out of position, which shows up as constant small corrections at the wheel.

•             Shimmy Under Braking: Vibration through the steering wheel when you brake, or a pull to one side, are common bad control arm symptoms caused by a worn ball joint or bushing.

•             Uneven Tire Wear: When bushings no longer hold alignment, tires wear on the inside or outside edge long before the center tread is gone.

•             Squeaks and Rattles: Cracked rubber body mount bushings and strut bushings often squeak on cold mornings and rattle over rough roads.

Catching these early keeps the job to a straightforward bushing replacement rather than a list of damaged parts.

Polyurethane Bushings vs Rubber: Why Nolathane Lasts Longer

Factory rubber bushings are soft, quiet and cheap to make. The trade off is that rubber breaks down with age, heat and contact with oil and road grime. Once it cracks or sags, the suspension loses its geometry and handling suffers.

Our polyurethane bushings are built to repair that problem and keep it fixed. Urethane bushings resist oil, fuel and road contaminants far better than rubber, and they resist compression set, so they keep their shape and hold suspension geometry for longer. The result is steadier steering, better cornering traction and less sway, with the durability to keep it that way. The same polyurethane goes into the mount bushings supplied with our sway bar kits.

If you have been asking whether polyurethane bushings are worth it, longevity is the short answer. You fit them once and stop replacing the same wear point every few years.

Finding the Right Nolathane Part for Your Vehicle

The quickest way to get the right part is to start with your vehicle. Use the part finder on the Nolathane USA website to search by make, model and year, then note the part number for each position you need. With that number in hand, ordering through Advance Auto Parts or any other stockist is straightforward.

If several bushings are worn, a Vehicle Master Bushing Kit or Essential Vehicle Kit is often better value than buying positions one at a time. For single repairs, individual kits such as polyurethane sway bar bushings or polyurethane control arm bushings get you back on the road without replacing parts that are still good. Installation guides are available for most of our products, so you or your shop know exactly how each part should go in.
