I have a bad back so Brian did the bulk of it. Wasn't bad...drilling 3 holes was the hardest part. Measure 3 times, drill 1 time...lol. Very straightforward install. Easier than my 1977 Datsun 620 or my 1988 Chevy Silverado.
I got a set of these a few years ago, don't recall the brand, and ended up taking them back off because the sway bar almost immediately worked its way into the slit in the urethane. Anything out there now that's better? It did improve the handling initially.
Which brand poly bushings do you speak of?
Had to search but I found out they were Prothane (pics in the link). The best solution would be a bolt-on bushing and bracket set replacement. Those were offered in the past, dunno who made those either.
Are your Red Ones squeaky ? I've the Black Graphite infused ones before. I'm so freakin' happy with the rear sway bar, I'm going to get the front bushings too. Then I'm going for this kit (after tax time). 2005-2019 Frontier 3"-5" Lowering Kit Drop Struts Lowering Struts Axle Flip Kit | eBayI have zero issues with my Energy Suspension Poly bushings.![]()
Yes sir.
Negative. Not squeky at all. They actually came with a grease fitting that I had to replace with a screw that has a lower profile than the fitting. The idler arm would've sheared the grease fitting off.
I can't find ANY listings for Poly's for a 2019...pissing me off about now...LOL !
I can't remember where I read about the bushings I bought but it listed part #'s. I actually had to do some trimming on the end link bushings to get them to seat properly.
Thanks I'll check it out...the truck has about 900 miles on it so the end links aren't important...just looking for the centers.

Maybe one of these universal fits will work for ya.

The one hole on the inside of the drivers side is already there. Pilot Punch thru and you'll have your mark for the outside hole. On the Passenger side measure back from the last "factory" hole and mark in the center of the frame rail. We swung the end link up to get it parallel and marked for the hole. Drilled and Pilot Punched thru to mark the other side. Then drilled that. I'll post some pics so you can see the location. The pass. side is almost 90 degree end link to sway bar...but the drivers side is angled back a little because of the shock mount and the existing hole we started with. Confused ? Pics will make it clear. Step Drill Bit required or suggested because the outside frame holes are a little larger...all explained in the directions.
Got you some pics. First two are the passenger side...last two are drivers side. On the drivers side you see why it's farther back (shock mount) and also driver side uses the spacer. Pretty straight forward install.

Thanks for the heads up...I'll research further. BobMight be wise to contact Energy Suspension for front sway bar bushings to avoid the issue that @yamato72 had with the Prothane bushings.
The slit on the Energy Suspension bushings is on the side. See attached pic.What have you done for your Frontier today/lately?
It almost killed me to spend $335, but I got my battery situation sorted out :) I had the Yellowtop and liked it, but not enough to get another one. Had Redtops before, not what I needed for Rommie. Decided to go with the DieHard Platinum but my whole stat is out! And they could not give me a...![]()
