FAQ

What vehicles are compatible with the 8.5132R bushing set?

The 8.5132R model is designed to fit a broad range of trucks and cars that use an 18mm rear sway bar. It matches the OEM part number BDVQ8.5132R, making it a direct replacement for many popular makes and models. Always verify the specific vehicle’s suspension diagram to confirm compatibility before purchase.

Can I install the bushing set myself?

Yes, the set is engineered for straightforward installation with common hand tools. The process typically involves removing the old rubber bushings, cleaning the mounting area, and pressing the new polyurethane bushings into place. Detailed instructions are included, and additional guidance is available from Energy Suspension’s support team.

How does polyurethane compare to rubber in terms of durability?

Polyurethane offers superior resistance to oil, heat, and abrasive particles that commonly degrade rubber. It maintains its elasticity over a much larger mileage range, reducing the likelihood of cracks, hardening, or permanent deformation. This translates to longer service intervals and more consistent performance throughout the bushing’s lifespan.

What maintenance is required after installation?

After installing the bushing set, regular suspension inspections are recommended to ensure bolts remain properly torqued and no excess wear develops on adjacent components. The polyurethane material does not require special lubrication, but keeping the suspension clean from road grime will help preserve its performance.

Is there a warranty on this product?

Energy Suspension provides a limited warranty that covers manufacturing defects and material failures for a specified period. The exact terms are outlined in the product documentation, and the company’s customer service team can assist with any warranty claims or questions.
