Detailed Description

This Dorman 540-715 stabilizer bar bushing kit is precision-engineered and tested as a direct replacement for the original equipment on select vehicles. The rubber material helps restore proper sway bar support at the front suspension, which is important for maintaining consistent bar location and reducing movement at the mounting points. It cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts 172286 and MOOG Chassis Products K200047 for the same application.

Common Issues This Part Helps Address

• Front suspension clunking or rattling from worn stabilizer bar bushings
• Excess sway bar movement at the mounting point
• Loose or degraded rubber bushings on the front stabilizer bar
• Handling feel affected by worn sway bar support components
• Noise during cornering or over uneven pavement

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the vehicle’s RPO code and front suspension configuration before ordering. Inspect the stabilizer bar, brackets, and surrounding hardware for wear or damage during service, since bushing replacement is most effective when the mounting surfaces are in good condition. Confirm the inside diameter and overall dimensions match the original part before installation.
