Sway bar bushings

How hard is it to change the sway bar bushings in the front end? I am looking at doing it this weekend and just want to know what I am getting into.

If you use penetrating oil and a air impact wrench it should take about 1 beer / side and about 40 minutes if you are slow. Not a difficult job. Just do 1 side at a time.

I did mine on my lunch break one day. I believe they are 9/16 bolts if memory serves me correctly. Not hard at all.

Ditto the previous two responses. It took me about 30 minutes total and I'm no mechanic.

Sounds good. I planned on doing them tomorrow but I think I will get the sway bar links as well and do it all next weekend.

Thanks for the input.

i bought the complete link assemblies. i think they were about $100. pretty $$$ for the junk that they are. i think if there is ever a next time, i am just going for the bushings.
