Need to replace the rear lower control arm bushings and can not find any Polyurethane type, just regular rubber. Was this rear lower control arm from 02-06 the same on any other models ie TJ or? I can not believe energy suspension did not make these bushings in Polyurethane for Liberty. Does anyone know if there are any available elsewhere? |

No poly bushings avaliable for the KJ. Troy (TJKJ) would tell you that it is better/easier to replace the whole arm as a piece than to press out/replace the bushings. I always thought about making my own arms with a heim joint at one end and a solid poly bushing at the other. But I don't have the skill or equipment for that. |

It may be easier and more expensive to replace the whole control arms, but you still end up with the OEM parts. I have a local 4x4 shop that can press in the new bushings and hopefully that will work better than OEM. If not, I will search for replacement adjustable arms, and also redo the upper tri-link. I asked energy suspension to consider making the bushings with almost a million KJ's that need them. Or even better make some stronger new arms! |

I used DAYSTAR bushings for my sway bar. Maybe they also make them for what you need. [ |

I'm looking for the same thing. My sway bar bushings are shot and I'd rather go aftermarket than OEM. |

Got a letter back from Energy Suspension today, and the good news is that currently the R&D dept in San Clemente California is looking for 2005-06 KJ's to fit free goodies onto !!!! Man I wish I was in California. Will look forward to their products, and will do a separate new posting for those in Cali to get there free goodies now !! I ordered 4 LCA rear bushings from Spicer today. http://www.energysuspension.com/pages/r&d4you.html |

JBA sells quick disconnect sway bar end links. |

Thanks, I've been looking at them, just trying to justify the extra cost since I'm sure I'll never disconnect them. But it might be the way I go. |
