Overview:

The Prothane Black Front Sway Bar Bushings are precision-engineered suspension components designed specifically for select Dodge Dakota and Dodge Durango models from the late 1990s. These bushings provide a direct replacement for the factory sway bar mounts, offering improved durability and enhanced handling performance. Ideal for enthusiasts and daily drivers alike, they help reduce sway bar deflection and maintain suspension geometry under aggressive driving conditions.

Constructed to withstand the rigors of both on-road and light off-road use, these bushings are perfect for owners looking to restore or upgrade their vehicle’s front suspension for better stability and control.

Key Features:

Prothane’s front sway bar bushings deliver reliable performance and long-lasting durability through thoughtful design and material selection. Key features include:

• Precision molded from high-quality polyurethane for superior wear resistance compared to OEM rubber bushings
• 28mm inner diameter designed to fit the front sway bar of 1997–1999 Dodge Dakota 4WD and 1998–1999 Dodge Durango models
• Black finish for a clean, professional appearance under the hood
• Improved stiffness reduces sway bar deflection, enhancing cornering stability and vehicle responsiveness
• Resistant to oil, chemicals, and environmental degradation for extended service life
• Direct bolt-on fitment ensures easy installation without the need for modifications
• Maintains proper sway bar alignment for consistent suspension performance

Construction & Design:

These sway bar bushings are crafted from premium polyurethane, a material chosen for its excellent balance of flexibility and toughness. Unlike traditional rubber bushings, polyurethane resists cracking, tearing, and deformation over time, especially under high-stress conditions. The bushings are precision molded to exact OEM specifications, ensuring a snug fit around the sway bar and mounting brackets.

The black coloration is not only aesthetically pleasing but also indicative of the durable coating that helps protect the bushing from UV exposure and contaminants. The 28mm bore size matches the factory sway bar diameter, guaranteeing seamless integration with the vehicle’s suspension system.

Installation of the Prothane front sway bar bushings is straightforward and designed to be a direct replacement for the factory components. No special tools or modifications are required, making it accessible for DIY enthusiasts and professional mechanics alike. Simply remove the old bushings, clean the mounting surfaces, and install the new Prothane bushings in their place.
