Default How hard to replace front sway bar bushings?

How hard is it to replace the front sway bar bushings? I looked up the parts on Napa's website and they show these. https://napaonline.com/Catalog/Catal...+50076+2076009

Go to IPDusa.com and look at the sway kits they show the instructions to do the whole thing. So you can see what it take to get the bushings out.

I would like to replace just the bushings and not the sway bar.

Did you look? To change the sway bar you still have to change the bushings. And how you get the bushings off and on is in the sway bar instructions.

You have to drop the rear part of the sub-frame to get the bolts. Not impossible but a bit tricky when it comes to holding the vehicle up high enough in the air so you can crawl under it. Ipdusa does have a very nice right up.

Don't. It never ends well. Although some euro parts places sell just the rubber, the engineered assembly is bonded to the smaller front bars for a reason. If your attempting to fix the noise to sell the vehicle just gunk up the whole thing with silicone and hope the person who purchases the vehicle can't find you next week. (Really don't, they just don't work over time, and you'll be replacing the bar anyways..)
