These are basically cushions – little rubber or polyurethane sleeves that fit around the sway bar where it connects to the vehicle’s frame. They allow the sway bar to move and flex a little bit, but they also keep it firmly in place. They dampen vibrations and reduce noise from the suspension working. Some are split, some are solid, it depends on the application. Think of your sway bar as a connecting rod between the left and right sides of your suspension. When you go around a corner, the body leans. The sway bar, through these bushings, resists that lean, helping keep the vehicle flatter and more stable. It distributes the load more evenly, improving handling. The bushings are what allow that connection to actually work without just metal on metal. These things wear out over time. Rubber gets brittle, cracks, or just compresses. When they do, you’ll notice if things feel loose in the steering, or maybe a clunking or rattling sound coming from the front end, particularly when going over bumps or turning. That noise means metal is hitting metal where it shouldn’t be. Worn bushings let the sway bar move too much, which impacts handling and makes the ride feel less controlled. It's a relatively inexpensive part to replace and can make a big difference in how the vehicle feels. You can often find exactly what you need at places like Fixparts Online, and it’s something a lot of people can tackle as a DIY job if they’re comfortable with basic car maintenance.
