I never got around to doing it, for some reason the popping is not as bad now.

 

HI MIKEon22s

Can you tell me where you got the bushing with grease fitting and Brand

Thank you

Thats just a 33mm 1.25" Energy Suspension universal. It didnt hold up well as the metal eventually bent allowing the bar to pull dow., Once this happened all the good of a tight bushign was lost. Some minor modifications to the U brakcet would solve that. I did find a poly bushing with graphite impregnitated in it that was or a 2500 RAM and was a 100% match for the factory braacket. Much better. Also found some great ends bushing in poly as well. Was a night and day difference and still very tight with no squeaks a year later.

 

I had the exact same issue on my 07', I also had that loud pop when going over speed bumps, and the only way I could remove the old bushings was by removing the sway bar, so this is how I did it: I bought the 2 new bushings at the dealer they were about $40 dollars and I changed them at home with some help (just in case), I removed the bolts, then I bend the tabs down slowly with tweezers since they're kind of weak, I removed the sway bar put a lot of grease where the old bushings were and twisted them to the end until they were out, I washed up the sway bar and I put in the new bushings by twisting them also, I put back the sway bar, and put back the sway bar links, tight the bolts and bend back up the tabs carefully with a slight help of a hammer and finally it worked, the noise was gone. By the way, those tabs don't really do much I think they're there if you're missing a bolt or something, they are not too strong. I know you want a different kind of bushings but I hope this helps. Good luck!

 

Thanks for the replies

I ran into a guy who has a 2004 Durango and had the same issue
with rattling sway bar due to worn out bushings. Had the bushing
replaced and like me had the problem return within 6 months.

Turns out that his shocks were worn out, he had the bushing re-done
and replaced his front shocks and its been good for over 2 years. So
he claims.

Maybe this is my issue - Any thoughts

Thanks

I too am getting to my sway bar bushings....so far, my prob is ordering.....the Mopar site I went to has 30mm and 32mm sizes, and I'm lost as to which I need?? Anyone know which my truck uses? (2007 Dakota 4x4 SLT Quad 4.7)

Thanks!

 

They all very not sure if even the vin/build data will help. A caliper will tell the tale. Measure it.
