I would recommend OEM bushings or the Moog “problem solver” bushings.

It’s pretty surprising the NVH that poly sway bar bushings introduce to the car. The poly bushings also effectively increases the overall stiffness of the bar.

I’ve put poly bushings on the stock 16mm and 14mm rear bars and I noticed a difference that made me eventually switch back.

However, some poly bushings like on the TRD sway bar kit are super soft. Like I’m talking 60a durometer soft. I could force the bushing’s slit open with just 2 fingers. I don’t know any other companies that offer these soft-style bushings.

Moog and OEM also don’t require lubrication like the poly bushings do, as they are self lubricating.

You may feel a difference with aftermarket endlinks but it’ll be minor. With your mileage I’d go ahead and replace those as well with OEM or any other of your choice. I use the Moog front endlinks, and the Racer-X rear endlinks.
