Default Bushing kits

Who do you feel has the best bushings available? I'm looking to buy a master kit for my stock 90. Thanks all! Pickpan...

Prothane, Prothane, Prothane.

Poly is better than rubber in this case.

Default Swaybar bushings

My swaybar measures 1-1/16" or 25.4mm. Can't seem to find those sizes for the 1990 Cherokee. Should I go with the Prothane 1" pt# 1-1108BL ? Pickpan...

I think this place has the best, it is what I run and I noticed a huge difference in handling and the prices are great

http://www.energysuspensionparts.com/proddetail.asp?prod=2.18105

It is the same kit that I run and it makes a big improvement on performance and handling.

I ran with Prothane (got the Master kit). Although, I did run Energy Sway Bar bushings only because they don't come with the kit because of the many sizes Cherokees have. I bought a set of "universal" 1" of the shelf at a local performance store. Made a world of difference, that is for sure. Pickpan...

Hey Lyon, I just replaced those same blue bushing (moog) with some Energy Suspension bushings.

Amazon.com: Energy Suspension 9.5161G 1" Greasable Sway Bar Set: Automotive Amazon.com: Energy Suspension 9.5161G 1" Greasable Sway Bar Set: Automotive

The problem I was having with the bushing was it allowed my bar to tap on the bracket. I could see a mark on the sway bar from where it hit. I needed a sway bar bushing that hung outside of the bracket the bracket instead of being inside of it so I went with energy suspensions and it works great. My bar is a hair larger than 25mm but the bushing fit like a glove.

Yeah, my old ones were so bad they hit the bracket anyway so these were a major upgrade by themselves. I checked the link. I like those!! I like that you can grease them too. Keeps the noise down. Well, if these go bad I'll try them. I've wasted 8 bucks on worse. haha! Thanks man.
