FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

How are sway bar bushings different from sway bar links?+

Bushings are rubber mounts that secure the sway bar to the body or subframe at the centre of the suspension. Links are separate pivoting components at the ends of the bar, connecting it to the suspension. Both wear out, but show up slightly differently and are replaced separately.

How do you tell a bushing knock from a link knock by ear?+

A bushing knock is usually duller and more rattling, felt closer to the centre of the car. A link knock is sharper and more distinct, localised closer to the wheel. But an accurate diagnosis is more reliably made on a lift, not by ear alone.

Can I keep driving with worn sway bar bushings?+

Technically yes, but the knock gets louder over time, and worn rubber holds the bar less securely, reducing the sway bar's effectiveness and slightly increasing body roll in corners.

What's the difference between rubber and polyurethane bushings?+

Polyurethane bushings last longer and are less prone to cracking from age and weather, but transmit slightly more vibration and can develop a light squeak without periodic lubrication. Rubber ones are more comfortable but need replacing more often.

How long do sway bar bushings last?+

On average 40,000–80,000 km — one of the most frequently replaced suspension components, especially on cars driven actively on poor roads.

How long does sway bar bushing replacement take?+

Usually 30–45 minutes, depending on access to the bar's mounting point on the specific car model.

Do the sway bar links need replacing along with the bushings?+

Not necessarily, but during inspection we check both components and let you know if both need attention — they often wear out around the same usage period.
