Worth it!! I did daizen front and rear swaybar bushings today. Not much harder than changing oil. My rear bushings were deformed and a little rotted. Could see where a mechanic at some point slopped on a bunch of grease I guess to get rid of some noise. Just as easy to replace the bushings so I dont know what was up with that. (I'm the original owner btw) Fronts were in good shape, but rubber had gotten hard. Easy to feel the difference.
Jacking up the rear at the differential was a piece of cake. Lots of clearance. Just need to keep the handle low. (Sears racing jack)

I installed the front sway bar bushings. In the pic you can see the OE bushing vs the prothane one.
I figure my OE bushing still looks quite ok. What do you guys think? (99 GS3 w/ 110k miles)
Haven't taken the car for a drive yet, I want to do the rears first.

Seems not, I bought the ones that are specific to the GS. They look 100% identical to the Daizen ones.
However Prothane does make universal ones too.
What do you think about the OE bushing. Still looks alright. Maybe not even worth replacing...
Edit: I did the rears now too. Took the car for a drive. It's almost a night and day difference! Great inexpensive mod. For those who haven't done it yet, go for it!!

I need to replace my front and rear sway bar bushings and am looking at the following options:
- OEM rubber bushings 48815 and 48818 from Sewell for $57.61 shipped
- Moog rubber bushings 90524 and 90537 on ebay for $38.52 shipped
- Prothane urethane bushings 181123 and 181124 on ebay for $28.78 shipped
Will the Moog perform about as well as OEM due to similar materials? If I go with the Prothane am I going to need to worry about squeaking over time. I have the Daizen LCA bushings and those squeak occasionally over speed bumps etc. Which would you choose and why? Thanks for any and all input.
