The GX460 front stabilizer bar runs through two rubber-lined chassis brackets that hold the bar in position and allow it to rotate freely as the suspension travels. Over time, the factory rubber in these brackets compresses, hardens, and cracks, allowing the sway bar to move laterally in the bracket and producing the characteristic thunking, rattling, and imprecise body roll control that appears on higher-mileage GX460s. The ENG8.5157R replaces both OEM rubber bracket liners with Energy Suspension's Hyper-Flex polyurethane compound sized for the 31mm GX460 front stabilizer bar diameter, restoring proper lateral control of the bar and sharpening body roll response. The result is more immediate and progressive body roll resistance and the elimination of sway bar movement noise with no change to the OEM bar setup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEnergy Suspension ENG8.5157R Hyper-Flex polyurethane front sway bar bushing set for 2010-2022 Lexus GX460\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSized for the 31mm OEM front stabilizer bar diameter on the GX460\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReplaces both factory rubber bracket liners that crack and compress with age, causing sway bar noise and body roll imprecision\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHyper-Flex polyurethane outlasts OEM rubber and maintains dimensional stability under heat and sustained load\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRestores proper lateral control of the front stabilizer bar without requiring bar replacement\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRed color; black version available separately as ENG8.5157G\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMade in USA by Energy Suspension\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eFitment\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eYear Range\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eMake\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eModel\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2010-2022\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLexus\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGX460\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDetail\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eValue\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePart Number (MPN)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e8.5157R\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBrand\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEnergy Suspension\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSeries\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHyper-Flex\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eType\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFront Sway Bar Bushing Set\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSway Bar Diameter\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e31mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eColor\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRed\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHyper-Flex polyurethane\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePosition\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFront stabilizer bar chassis brackets (both sides)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFitment\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2010-2022 Lexus GX460\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCountry of Origin\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUSA\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eProp 65\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eYes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUPC\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e703639124481\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2 Hyper-Flex polyurethane front sway bar bushings sized for 31mm stabilizer bar diameter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEnergy Suspension grease packet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eAbout Energy Suspension\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEnergy Suspension has manufactured Hyper-Flex polyurethane suspension components in the United States since 1983. Based in San Clemente, California, Energy Suspension produces application-specific bushing sets, body mounts, sway bar bushings, and supporting hardware for thousands of domestic and import vehicle applications. The Hyper-Flex compound is formulated to deliver significantly longer service life than OEM rubber while maintaining handling precision appropriate for street-driven vehicles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the Energy Suspension 8.5157R?\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Energy Suspension 8.5157R is the Hyper-Flex polyurethane front sway bar bushing set for the 2010-2022 Lexus GX460 in red. It replaces both factory rubber front sway bar bracket liners with polyurethane bushings sized for the 31mm GX460 front stabilizer bar, restoring proper bar retention and eliminating the noise and body roll imprecision that develops as the factory rubber deteriorates.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eWhat size is the GX460 front sway bar?\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 2010-2022 Lexus GX460 front stabilizer bar is 31mm in diameter. The Energy Suspension 8.5157R is specifically sized for this 31mm diameter. Do not install a bushing sized for a different diameter, as it will either be too loose (causing noise and movement) or require forced installation that can damage the bracket or bushing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eWhat years of Lexus GX460 does the 8.5157R fit?\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Energy Suspension 8.5157R fits the 2010-2022 Lexus GX460. It is not designed for the GX470 (2003-2009), which uses a different stabilizer bar diameter and mounting configuration. Confirm your model year before ordering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eWill the ENG8.5157R eliminate sway bar clunking on my GX460?\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, if the clunking originates from worn or loose front sway bar bracket bushings. The ENG8.5157R eliminates the lateral play in the bracket that causes the bar to knock against the housing. If the clunking persists after installation, the source may be worn sway bar end links, which are a separate component and not addressed by this bushing set.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the 8.5157R include grease?\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. The ENG8.5157R includes an Energy Suspension grease packet. Apply grease to the inside bore of the bushing before installation to allow proper bar rotation and prevent squeaking. Do not use petroleum-based grease with polyurethane bushings, as it will degrade the material over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eIs installation a DIY job on the GX460?\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. Front sway bar bracket bushing replacement on the GX460 is one of the simpler suspension jobs. The bracket bolts are accessible from underneath with basic hand tools. The bushings are a clamp-style design, not pressed, so no press is required. The job typically takes under an hour with the vehicle on jack stands or a lift.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eIs there a rear sway bar bushing for the GX460 to pair with this?\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. The Energy Suspension 8.5158R is the rear sway bar bushing set for the 2010-2022 Lexus GX460 in red, and is the companion product to the 8.5157R front set. Replacing both front and rear simultaneously is recommended when the vehicle has high mileage, as both sets degrade at a similar rate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eIs the 8.5157G (black) the same as the 8.5157R (red)?\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. The Energy Suspension 8.5157G and 8.5157R are identical in construction, compound, and fitment. The only difference is color. G is black and R is red.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Instructions\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLift and safely support the front of the GX460 on jack stands.
