Construction & Design:
These rear sway bar bushings are precision-molded from Energy Suspension’s proprietary HYPER-FLEX polyurethane, a material engineered to withstand harsh driving conditions and resist cracking, splitting, or deformation. The increased durometer rating compared to OEM rubber bushings ensures that the sway bar maintains optimal contact with the chassis, improving suspension response and vehicle handling.
The bushings are designed to fit the 18mm rear sway bar of the Scion tC perfectly, ensuring a snug and secure fit. The included zinc-plated grade 5 bolts, nylon insert lock nuts, and heavy gauge washers provide corrosion resistance and prevent loosening over time, contributing to a reliable and maintenance-free installation.
Installation & Fitment:
Installation of Energy Suspension’s rear sway bar bushings is straightforward and can typically be completed with basic hand tools. These bushings are designed as direct replacements for the factory rubber bushings on the rear sway bar of the 2005–2010 Scion tC, requiring no modifications or special tools. The kit includes all necessary hardware to secure the bushings firmly in place.
For best results, it is recommended to inspect the sway bar and related suspension components during installation and replace any worn parts as needed. Greaseable versions of the bushings help reduce noise and wear, especially in high-performance or off-road applications.
