Default EnergySuspension bushings/RCA boot

I just ordered some universal sway bar bushings from www.energysuspensionparts.com, 28.5mm front and 14mm rear and I believe theyre made by EnergySuspension. Does anybody know how are these compared to the Daizens sway bushings? I tried ordering from them months ago but no luck. On the second hand, I have another rear control arm for my GS planning to swap the old one because the boot is ruptured, but are those grease boots replaceable by any chance? Thanks.

The daizen are poly bushings so they should be the same material

Thanks. When you say they work wonders, did you notice a better ride? What was the condition of the sway bar bushings you replaced? Im sure its time to replace mine due to creaking over bumps. Mind you, ball joints and tie rods are replaced with MOOG.

My sway bushings and Steering bushings had 72k miles on them.. All of them were super soft and very bendable.. no firmness at all... Especially the steering rack.. They were so bad they were like jelly...

Much improvement IMO with the new bushings.. I have the prothane for the rear on its way..

I just installed the bushings and the stock ones were falling apart, the culprit of all that squeeking up front over little bumps! The car feels so much more solid, its definitely something to look into!
