Prothane 8-1144-BL Front Sway Bar Bushing Kit 28mm Black Polyurethane

The Prothane 8-1144-BL is a front stabilizer bar bushing kit engineered in black polyurethane for a direct-fit upgrade over the factory rubber bushings. Designed for the 28mm front sway bar, these bushings deliver a firmer, more consistent grip on the stabilizer bar to reduce body roll and improve cornering response.

Over time, OEM rubber sway bar bushings stretch and compress under load, eventually losing their grip on the bar. Once this happens, the sway bar can no longer do its job effectively during cornering, leading to increased body roll, clunking noises, and loss of traction. Prothane's polyurethane compound is significantly more durable than rubber, holding its shape and maintaining a firm grip on the bar throughout the life of the vehicle.

Key Features:

• Fitment for the 28mm front sway bar on the Honda S2000 (2000–2009)
• Made from performance-grade polyurethane — firmer and longer-lasting than OEM rubber
• Split bushing design allows installation without removing the entire sway bar
• Black color includes a small amount of graphite mixed into the polyurethane to help minimize noise
• Grooved bore retains Prothane's included super grease for smooth, quiet operation
• Reduces body roll, improves steering feel, and increases traction during cornering
• Also compatible with larger-diameter aftermarket/performance sway bars
• Made in the USA
• Backed by Prothane's Lifetime Warranty for the original purchaser

Prothane's black polyurethane formula shares the same durometer (hardness) as the red variant — the graphite content in the black version simply offers additional protection against squeaking. For best results, apply the included super grease at installation. This kit is also included as part of Prothane's complete S2000 Total Kit (8-2022).
