Sway bar end link bushings?

Hey guys, am I able to just swap out the sway bar end link bushings or do I have to replace the entire end link? The bushings are shot right now. I have a 2001 4WD V6 Tacoma.
Thanks

 

It's easier to swap the whole thing, I wouldn't mess with it. Save an hour of your time for 10$?

 

Do you recommend a specific brand for end links? Everywhere I see that are around $30 for each.

 

@RockAuto
I've most of the time found they have the best prices.
Tacomaworld has a discount if you look up thier page here.
I like Moog, but some don't.

 

I'm not even sure you can get just the bushings. I mean, I suppose you could if you go to a machinist supply place, but it's not worth it.

The most expensive end links are like $20.

Exactly, storefront parts stores really run more expensive unless you know exactly how to deal with them. If you can order online I would say go for it.

 

Thanks. Yea I’ll just get the moog ones to replace. These end links are not the kind where the two bushings sandwich the link so I wasn’t sure if they could be replaced.

 

You can definitely do just the bushings, I did way back when I didn't really know what they were (but I could tell that they needed to be replaced). Ended up taking the sway bar off a couple months later!

Replacing the Stabilizer Link Bushings

If I were to do it again, I'd get the $12 set of 4 polyurethane aftermarket bushings, since that seems like a great deal and probably better than the rubber.

​

 

yea looks like you have the end link where the bushings sandwich the link. I don’t have that one. I’ll have to get a picture because it’s hard to explain how mine looks different.

 

Yours look like this I'm betting:

 

I mean you "could" replace the sway bar and LCAs with one from a 98-00 but yeah, not worth it.

Just get the double ended ones we have to deal with, maybe $40 total?

also, maybe it's me at the end of the day but when someone mentions what they have and then someone else posts the "solution" for something the person doesn't have

 

yeah they are just like that. I ended up ordering the Moog ones and yes spent $40 total. Which is totally fine I just was trying to go the cheaper route but if I’m gonna replace I’d rather have the whole thing brand new.

 

Hey, at least it was still for a 1st gen. It's hard to know what is the same vs what is different between the various sub categories of 1st gens.

My favorites are the "you need a body mount chop" to fit 33's" in the 1st gen section.

 

I just did the whole thing on each end; easy-peazy! Got em from Rockauto.com.
