MOOG K3171 Suspension Stabilizer Bar Bushing Kit for Jeep

MOOG K3171 is a thermoplastic stabilizer (sway) bar bushing kit engineered to restore steering stability and reduce noise on compatible Jeep models.

These replacement bushings are designed and tested by MOOG engineers to provide long-lasting support for the front stabilizer bar on a range of Jeep and related vehicles. Manufactured from a durable thermoplastic compound, the K3171 kit resists cracking, splitting and chemical attack from road grime and oils while delivering quieter operation compared with worn original bushings.

What vehicles will the MOOG K3171 bushing kit fit?

The K3171 kit covers many Jeep and select Dodge models from the mid-1980s through the late 1990s, but fitment depends on year, engine and trim. Always verify with your specific vehicle details before purchasing.

• Fits models including 1984–1990 Jeep Wagoneer and 1984–2001 Jeep Cherokee
• Compatible with 1986–1992 Jeep Comanche and 1987–1995 Jeep Wrangler
• Also covers select Dodge Dakota years and early Grand Cherokee/Wagoneer variants
• Use the vehicle selection tool (year/make/model/engine/trim) for exact compatibility

How does this kit improve ride quality and noise levels?

Worn stabilizer bar bushings allow excess movement, producing clunks and loose steering feel. Replacing them with MOOG K3171 restores proper bar alignment, reduces metal-to-metal contact and dampens vibrations for a smoother, quieter drive.

• Thermoplastic material reduces squeaks compared with aged rubber
• Precision molding minimizes play and improves responsiveness
• Resists swelling from oils and road contaminants to maintain damping

Are MOOG K3171 bushings easy to install?

MOOG designs many of its suspension components for straightforward installation with common hand tools. These bushings typically slip over the stabilizer bar and into existing brackets, but installation complexity can vary by vehicle and whether rusted hardware needs replacement.

• Often requires only basic tools and a jack to access the front stabilizer bar
• Pre-shaped halves fit the bar for fast, accurate placement
• Inspect brackets and mounting hardware during installation—replace corroded parts as needed

What materials and testing back this product?

MOOG K3171 uses a robust thermoplastic compound chosen for durability and resistance to environmental stressors. MOOG engineers run comprehensive validation during design and development to confirm fit, noise reduction and longevity under real-world conditions.

• High-quality thermoplastic for extended service life and tear resistance
• Engineered to limit wear from salt, dirt and lubricants
• Subjected to MOOG’s development testing for reliable performance

Who is this for: The MOOG K3171 stabilizer bar bushing kit is intended for owners and technicians maintaining mid-1980s through late-1990s Jeep and related vehicles who want to replace degraded sway bar bushings with a durable, OE-style solution. It’s a practical choice for DIY mechanics, restoration projects and professional shops seeking a tested replacement that reduces noise and restores steering feedback. Before ordering, confirm fitment with your vehicle’s year, make, model, engine and trim using the fitment tool or product notes.
