I saw these bushings on the website of a local dealer... does anyone know if these are any good? I've seen the polyurethane energy suspension bushings on planetperformance.com. Anyone have either of these? Just curious....Thanks.

also are these hard to install?

They are very good they make the car tight and make the ride less moochy.Only problem is if you get solid engine mounts more vibration is translated to the car (I find it is a good thing )..

I just popped some energy suspension bushings on my Avalon. They make the car ride sweeter. They are a bitch to install but they can surely take a beating. The only problem we had was the front control arm front bushing on one side got scraped by the pin going in, but it was not cut so it's still intact.

You'll still end up getting ripped off. Dealerships are evil when it comes to buying parts through them. They charge you an arm and a leg

The whole set ran me $100. Check out Suspension Restoration Co.

If the dealer is the only place to get them than oh well. I get parts at cost. I didn't even know TRD had upgraded motor mounts and bushings.
