Sway bar bushing replacement
 
The other day I heard a little thumping in the front left suspension. I looked under and saw the sway bar bushing was not all there. I've tried to find something online about what it takes to replace and haven't found anything. I figured it would be worth it to replace both at the same time. What all takes place in replacing the sway bar bushings?

Take off bar, cut off old bushings, slide on new ones (I used silicone for lube) lol

Do I need to get a caliper to figure out which set of bushings to get?

Better safe than sorry if you aren't sure of the size

It's tool time.

You don't need any tools. Wrap some masking tape around it and mark off the circumference. Take the tape off and measure with a ruler. The size (diameter) of the sway bar = circumference you just measured / 3.142

HA or you could slip an open end wrench or two over the bar!
