TeraFlex 1943706 Quick Disconnect Bushing Set (4)(4), 1 Pack

Good fit, but there is still cluncking

Excellent quality, just be patient when trying to install, if you aren’t mechanically inclined purchase the hole ensemble

So most of the negative reviews deal with the difficulty, really the seeming impossibility, or pressing these in. I had watched the Teraflex installation video on Youtube so I knew what I was getting into before I ordered. Even still, I damaged the first one trying to get it in. I was all set to return these and just buy full replacement links that already had them installed when I ran across another video on Youtube. It was in Spanish so I can't really tell you what the guy said, but what I observed was that he soaked the ball bushings and the steel end links in hot water to expand the metal and to make the bushings more pliable. He then applied grease and compressed the bushing (he used a vice, I used channel locks) and worked the compressed bushing into the end link (same direction as in the teraflex video).I had gotten this far before and this is where I damaged my bushing. I put a screw driver through the hole at an angle as I saw it done in all instructional videos I could find, but when I tried to rotate the bushing into position, mine was getting hung on the edges of the end link and tearing. What I ended up doing was turning it as far as I could with the screw driver and then using vise grips to compress that edge of the bushing enough that it could pop into place. It was kind of fiddly as I had to line up one of the jaws on that little bit of bushing that wouldn't clear the edge of the hole, and then get the other end on the outside of the metal link to be able to apply pressure, they kept slipping off one surface or other when I tried to squeeze, all while you are holding the bushing in place with the screwdriver I had to do that on both sides of every bushing as I rotated them in. Placing the link into a vise to free up one hand was a big help with this part.The first bushing plagued me for a day and a half until I figure this out. Each subsequent one took me about 30 minutes to install including hot water soaking time.As others have said, no instructions are provided, and you will destroy them before you manage to press them into place by forceBut the fun ain't over yet! Putting them back on the Jeep was a new exercise in frustration getting them into the brackets on the sway bar was a lot of grease and grunting patience, and them I had to use bar clamps to get them pushed onto the quick disconnect pins on the frame, and even after I did that, the bushings were to thick to accomodate the wash and cotter pin. I wound up using vise grips again to compress the bushing slightly with with the washer, so that I could slip the pin through the hole. I think I'll let them wear a little before I attempt using the quick disconnect again.Bottom line: If you have $60 to spend, save yourself a lot of trouble and just buy the full replacement links with everything already installed. If you are on a $20 budget, it can be done, but you'll pay dearly for it in both time and frustration.

These are good replacement bushings. This is how I pressed them in easily

I’ll reiterate a few of the installation comments. There’s more than a simple trick to getting them into the sway bar links without some sort of damage. I messed up one of the four pretty bad trying to get it in despite liberal use of grease and sockets for pressing them in. I have years of experience with lift kits, four links, rebuilding transmissions, etc but even that didn’t help.Disappointing Teraflex.

Save your money and not buy these. They are a total pain to install and will most likely be damaged if you are able to get them in. I tried many different techniques and none of them worked. Teraflex does have an install video of how to do it but in my opinion they are not using this bushing as the one they install is pushed in with minimal effort and no deformation.Save time, money, and frustration. Just buy a whole new endlink with everything updated and installed on it for you.

Like the other reviews, I watched the video and it didn't work. The bushings would just mushroom and not go in.To install the bushings, you need to put the link and bushing in the vice like the video shows. Slowly start cranking the vice down. As soon as the bushing starts to mushroom, use large pliers or channel locks on the bushing and squeeze the bushing so it doesn't mushroom. While squeezing the bushing, slowly keep cranking the vice down. Doing this and the bushings will go right in. Then follow the video and all will be good.

I purchased these to repair a worn out bushing on my Teraflex sway bar link. They are installed on a 2011 Jeep Wrangler. I called Teraflex and the rep recommended I buy these replacement bushings. He told me that you can press these in with a vice. I’m here to tell you, these CANNOT be pressed into a sway bar link without damaging the bushing. The video on Teraflex website shows these being easily pressed in but there is no way they are using the same bushing. I ended up just purchasing new sway bar links. Do yourself a favor and pass these up and just replace the entire link. Waist of time and money!!
