Sway Bar Bushing Replacement DIY

[ojmcneill]

Anyone seen a DIY on replacing the sway bar bushings? I've got the clunk and would like to replace mine. Is it something you can do by yourself or does it require a stealership visit. Someone tell me how.
Thanks

It's a very easy DIY on the front, can't remember the socket sizes off the top of my head but the are "normal" metric sizes, nothing above 21mm. Getting to one of the heat shield bolts on the passenger side can be a pain but it just takes time.

I'll update with the TQ values for the large bolts if no one else gets to it.

If that doesn't do it then look at your swaylinks, and tie-rods.

Front or rear? Rears are a pain, have to drop the cradle. Not difficult, just time-consuming. You can download the installation instructions for Hotchkis swaybars from their site - those show how to R&R the sways.
