The natural rubber material helps isolate the sway bar from the frame, supporting consistent suspension movement and reducing unwanted contact at the mounting point.

What It Helps Address
- Clunking or knocking from the rear stabilizer bar area
- Excessive sway bar movement at the frame mount
- Worn or cracked rubber bushings
- Noise caused by metal-to-metal contact at the stabilizer bar bracket

Installation Notes and Tips
Verify the rear stabilizer bar diameter before installation; this kit is specified for a 25.4 mm (1 in) bar.

For fitment reference, GK8799 fits 1989-1990 Ford Thunderbird, rear to frame, and 1989-1990 Mercury Cougar, rear to frame.
