Front sway bar

Hello Club Lexus

I've been doing some research on replacing the front sway bar bushing and believe switching to polyurethane will result in a somewhat sportier feel.

Question is has anyone done this mod and is the standard size 27mm.

Thank you

It's going to be a really negligible difference in handling improvement. My concern is poly bushings can badly squeak unless they are lubed.

I personally don't think it's worth the tradeoff but it's a simple job to perform.

I replaced mine with OEM. They couldn't be better. They also made the car feel so much comfortable.

Poly bushings may also cause hard shutter when traveling over bumpy roads. While poly bushings may provide a little less sway and lean into corners, there is a trade-off.
