Need pics on the front sway bar bushings installment?
Most new sway bar bushings are split so they can be R & R easily. Remove clamp from bushing, slip or cut old bushing out, slip new bushing in and replace bushing clamp.
What does a sway bar bushing do?
The sway bar bushing is located inside the the clamp that secures the sway bar to the frame. They use a busing to allow a little flex in the sway bar but not enough to cause a clank sound everytime the bar is flexed. So if the bushing is worn or gone your sway bar will make a bunch of clunk/clank sounds when the car is in motion.
How d o you change a strut arm bushing on a 99 saturn sl?
Saturn S series vehicles do not use a Strut arm... nor do they have a Strut arm bushing. I'm assuming your referring to the sway bar bushing in the center of the lower control arm. This bushing is not serviceable alone, the replacement of the entire lower control arm is needed if the bushing has failed.
When should control arm bushing be replaced?
You will know when the control arm bushing should be replaced by the way the vehicle drives. The back end will sway back and forth.

How do you replace the front sway bar link on a suburban?
Just replaced a front sway bar link on my 2000 Suburban 1500 LT. I changed the oil yesterday and noticed one link was completely missing. The sway bar is a piece of shaped steel pipe attached to the frame. The link is a pin and rubber bushings connecting the sway bar to the wishbone to which the wheel assembly is attached. The wishbone allows the wheel to move up and down while riding on the coil spring and attached to the shock. The sway bar link seems to limit the wishbone travel to how far the steel pipe will flex. I bought a Moog brand replacement link kit from O'reilly/Checker auto parts for under $25. It included a long bolt, locknut, tubing that slides over the shank of the bolt, four rubber bushings, and four bushing washers. Normally, you would install a bolt from top down, but I noticed the factory link was installed from bottom up. Holding the bolt thread up, slide a bushing washer on the bolt cup side up. Slide a bushing on the bolt with the nipple side up. Slide the bolt upward into the hole on the wishbone. Slide another rubber bushing on the bolt, nipple side down, followed by a bushing washer, cupped side again toward the bushing. Slide the tubing over the bolt. Slide a bushing washer and bushing, nipple side up, on the bolt. At this point, the weight of the vehicle was compressing the coil spring enough that I couldn't fit everything below the sway bar. Jack the car up enough that you can push the bolt through the hole in the sway bar. Lower the vehicle until the weight is carried on the tubing and sway bar bushings. Place the final bushing, bushing washer, and locknut on the end of the bolt. Tighten just enough that a full thread appears above the locknut.

Why would a Jaguar make a chirping noise when you go over a bump?
Your bushing are giving you notice they need attention, The replacements are readily available online and are not that expensive. If the noise comes from the front center of car its probably the sway bar bushing, either side then its probably a control arm bushing. Either way its a suspension issue and should not be ignored.

How do you change a sway bar bushing 1991 Toyota Camry?
1. Get some anti-seize spray (PB Blaster, WD-40, etc). 2. Crawl under your car daily and spray (as best you can) the 2 bolts per side that hold the U-Shaped bushing for the sway bar. 3. Pull one bolt out after 3 or 4 days of spraying. (You dont really have to lift your car, if you can crawl under it just before the wheel - if you're a little big then lift both sides evenly). Take that bolt to an autozone or parts store of your choosing and match it with 4 new ones (trust me you'll need new ones). 4. Return to removing the bolts that hold in the U-Shaped cover. This exposes the old black soft and crummy bushing. 5. Slide the bushing off the sway bar and put on the new bushing (they should both have a little slit that can be a pain to open wide enough (especially while under your vehicle). 6. Bolt in your 4 new bolts (with some anti-seize) and tighten them up good. You're all set. I wish I had pictures, but it should be pretty obvious.
