just recieved new sway bar bushings, anybody install these recently? any info would help.

Just did this last week! What a bitch!

To get rid of the old bushings in the links, I used a belt sander to grind down the lips and hammer them out.

To get them in: Try softening the bushings by placing in extremely hot water. (Didn't help much!) I used a c-clamp to clamp the link to my work bench. I used some grease and got a bushing started about 60% with my hand and used a dull screw driver to poke the rest in. Did not work the first time and watch your fingers and hands! Remember one bushing faces one way and the other the other way or you will be pissed! When you get the bushings on the links, the fun begins.

I used a c-clamp to press on the balls. I used grease too. I had to go Home Depot twice to get c clamps that would fit in the tight space. Some are too small and some are too damn big!

Wow, I am tried thinking about it again! I am 63 and I will probably be dead and gone before they will have to be replaced again which is okay with me!

Drill a small hole in the back of the bushing.

I use a vise and a dull screwdriver to put the cups in the links, and Sears' biggest channel locks for the studs.

Tried the search function?

once you get them out, here is a link to some good video's for the new ones:

Hey Brett, Re-read the title.

Wrong bushings ... He's talking about the rear swaybar ...

thanks for all the info. heating the bushings was the key, they slipped rite in the links.

Awesome!
