Front Anti-Roll Bar Bushing Suzuki Samurai — Rubber, Raptor 4x4

Sway bar bushings are among the cheapest parts on a Samurai, and among the ones whose wear you notice fastest from the driver's seat. Once the rubber is worn out, the bar starts moving in its mount: you get a knock when one wheel climbs an obstacle, and the body rolls more noticeably in corners.

This is the rubber bushing for the front anti-roll bar, listed in the Raptor 4x4 catalogue with a reference to the original Suzuki number 42412-65D00. It is sold individually, so you order exactly what your repair needs.

Key benefits

• A new bushing removes the play between the bar and its mount, so the anti-roll bar does its actual job again and limits body roll.
• The reference to Suzuki original number 42412-65D00 means you are getting the right size, not an approximate bushing off a generic shelf.
• A very cheap part with a disproportionate effect on comfort — curing a knock from the front end usually starts right here.
• Sold per piece, so the quantity matches the scope of your job.

Technical data

• Location: front anti-roll bar
• Weight: 0.048 kg
• Model: Suzuki Samurai

People buy this part during a front suspension rebuild, or simply when the front end starts knocking over bumps. On a truck used off-road the sway bar bushings wear faster, because they work through full suspension travel and in permanent contact with mud and water.

Installation notes

The bushing sits inside a mounting clamp (our reference RAP-RP4241583000). If that clamp is bent open or eaten by corrosion, a new bushing alone will not fix the problem — it is worth changing both together. While you are there, inspect the sway bar itself where it has been running inside the old, worn bushing.

Why it is worth it

• The cheapest way to get rid of a knock in the front suspension.
• A clear Suzuki OE reference, so no guessing about the size.
• Sold individually, matched exactly to your repair.

Working on the front of your Samurai? Take the bushings together with the clamps — it is a few pounds more and the job is done properly the first time.
