Default Swaybar bushings ARE replaceable!!!

Just installed mine last night. It takes some work to get the old ones off but took me about an hour. Cut off the brackets with a cutoff wheel. Then with pliers remove the plastic outer shell of the bushing. Then rip off as much rubber as you can with a razor, screwdriver, etc. Lastly used an acetylene torch to burn/singe the rubber while using a paint scraper and wire brush to remove the remaining material. Here is a pic of the final product. Energy 9.5124R install. $19 at autozone.

Or .... you can get the one that's greasable. I only say that because I've had them squeak a year or two down the road and it's a pain to lube them after they are installed and starting to rust in. Energy Suspension PN 9.5157R for 19.99 at AutoZone. These are 20.5mm or 13/16" also.
