i need some new front lower shock bushings, anyone have a part number or some where i can get some, all the part stores ive been to dont have a listing , they just tell me to bring the old one in and match it. but i cant if i take bushings off. thanks for any help.

 

call bilstein they should be able to help you

 

goto any parts store then look in there energy suspension section, they have the shock bushings there

 

Is it gonna be the same bushing for any shock that'll fit on a 3rd gen 4runner, jsut wanted to make sure, cause if so, ill go pick some up tomorrow.

 

ive decided to give it another shot at replcing the shock bushings. they are almost completely worn out now.all the local places ive gone, hae said just bring one in and they can find a match, well if i take one off, then how am i supposed to drive?
does anyone know where i can get replacement bushings for my bilstein shocks? are they the same size as the factory ones?

 

WHICH bushing?

The upper one (is it a Stud? not familiar with the later gen trucks)
The LOWER one (is it an eye?)

If its a BIlstien - call them -t hey sell them and if you tell them the application they can tell you the part.

Here the other idea.
1) remove shock
2) pictures and MEASURE the bushing
3) put back together
4) go tot he parts store
5) get home
go to step 1...

 

You only need to pull one bolt if you want to pull the bushing at the place - not a big deal if you dont mind doing it in a parking lot - takes 2 minutes.

Did the Energy suspensions selection at Autozone not have it??

 

Yeah energy suspensions sellls different sizes, do a little research to determine the size of the bushing.

 

toyota part number for the front lower shock bushing is 90389-14048

 

I'm in the same boat, but I'm in need of a Bilstein replacement bushing for my lower rear shock on my 02 4runner. Did you happen to get a replacement through Bilstein or somewhere else?

 

I also have Bilsteins and would like to upgrade to poly bushings on the bottoms. The stocks are rubber and do settle after a while.

Have you found a direct replacement? Do you have a part number? Where did you get them?

 

Got off the phone with Bilstein. The woman I spoke with confirmed that there really isn't anywhere else to get the bushings except through Bilstein. PITA!!! Anyhow, if you're running the 2451 shocks in the rear, the Bilstein PN# for the lower bushing is E4-B46-450. They run about $1.50 each. I'm assuming that the lower eye is the same on the Tacos.
