MOOG sway bar bushing kit K80078 for Ford F-150 — thermoplastic direct-fit stabilizer bushings, reduces clunking

If your F-150, Expedition or Navigator is showing sway bar noise, looseness or uneven handling, the K80078 kit offers an OEM-style replacement made from long-lasting thermoplastic. MOOG designs these bushings to resist cracking, chemicals and road grime while keeping installation straightforward for DIYers and professional technicians alike. This kit is developed and tested by MOOG engineers to meet fit, form and function expectations for the listed model years.

How will these bushings improve my truck’s handling?

Replacing worn stabilizer bar bushings restores the connection between the sway bar and chassis so the suspension reacts predictably in turns and over uneven surfaces. You’ll notice reduced lateral body roll and fewer bangs or clunks from the front suspension when mounting or braking.

• Restores original sway bar alignment and motion control
• Reduces unwanted noise during steering input
• Helps maintain consistent handling across driving conditions

Are these bushings easy to install for a weekend mechanic?

The K80078 kit is engineered for straightforward, fast installation using common hand tools and basic mechanical skills. MOOG’s design eliminates excessive trimming or modification, so the parts slip into the original mounting brackets and hardware with minimal fuss.

• Direct-fit replacement for listed years and models
• Thermoplastic material that installs cleanly without special adhesives
• Works with factory or aftermarket sway bars and mounting brackets

Will these resist weather, salt and oil better than old rubber bushings?

Yes—these bushings use a premium thermoplastic formulation selected for chemical and environmental resistance, which helps them retain shape and dampening over time. That translates to a longer service life and lower frequency of replacement compared with older or inferior materials.

• Less prone to splitting, discoloration and cracking with age
• Engineered to inhibit degradation from road salt and automotive fluids
• Maintains quieter operation under load and temperature changes
