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.
