Frequently Asked Questions
Will part number 8.5157G fit my 2015 Lexus GX460 Luxury?Yes. This front sway bar bushing set is a direct fit for all 2010-2022 Lexus GX460 trims including Base, Luxury, and Premium. No modifications are required.
How does polyurethane compare to the factory rubber front sway bar bushings on the GX460?Factory rubber bushings are softer and allow more deflection, which contributes to body roll and imprecise steering feel. Hyper-Flex polyurethane is firmer, holds its shape under load, and resists oil and ozone degradation far better than OEM rubber over time.
Do Energy Suspension polyurethane bushings squeak?Squeaking is caused by inadequate lubrication. Part 8.5157G includes zerk grease fittings, which allow you to inject grease directly into the bushing interface during installation and at future service intervals, preventing metal-on-poly contact noise.
How long do Hyper-Flex bushings last compared to rubber?Energy Suspension backs this kit with a 7-year limited warranty. In real-world use, polyurethane bushings typically outlast factory rubber by a significant margin because they do not crack, harden, or deteriorate from exposure to oil, ozone, or temperature swings.
Is this a front sway bar bushing replacement or a complete end link kit?This is a front sway bar bushing set only. It replaces the chassis-mount bushings that hold the sway bar to the frame. End links are not included and should be replaced separately if worn.
Will replacing the front sway bar bushings on my GX460 require an alignment?No. The sway bar mounts to the frame, not to suspension geometry components, so no post-installation alignment is needed.
Can I install these bushings myself at home?Yes. This is a straightforward DIY installation requiring basic hand tools. You will need to remove the sway bar mounting clamps, swap the rubber bushings for the new polyurethane ones, grease the zerk fittings, and reinstall the clamps.
Does the bushing kit work on a GX460 that has been lifted or leveled?Yes. Sway bar bushing diameter is not affected by lift height. This kit will fit any 2010-2022 GX460 as long as the original sway bar remains in place.
Installation Instructions
- Safely lift and support the vehicle on jack stands rated for the GX460's weight.
- Locate the front sway bar mounting clamps on the frame rail on both sides.
- Remove the mounting clamp bolts and lower the clamps away from the bar.
- Slide the original rubber bushings off the sway bar.
- Clean the sway bar contact area and clamp inner surfaces with a clean rag.
- Apply the provided grease to the inner bore of each Hyper-Flex bushing.
- Slide the new polyurethane bushings onto the sway bar at the factory mounting locations.
- Install the zerk fittings into each bushing if not pre-installed.
- Reinstall the mounting clamps and torque the bolts to OEM specification.
- Inject additional grease through the zerk fittings until grease just begins to emerge from the bushing edges.
- Lower the vehicle and verify that no components contact the sway bar through the full steering sweep.
