The links go on the end on the sway bar and hook to the suspension. Bushings are used to connect the sway bar to cars frame.
A little more information. Year/model. Some sway bar links become loose because of wear and the links continue to work but make a noise when the front end hits a bump. Other sway bar links will break altogether and the vehicle will lean excessivly when going around a corner.
You have to remove the end links, then remove the sway bar bushings (there are two) and the sway bar will come out. Sway Bars usually do not need to be replaced unless they are bend or completely broken. It is usually end links being worn or the bushings being warn out.

yes, if you have adjustable end links. The shorter you adjust the end link the more effective (ie: stiffer) the swaybar. Sway bars are designed to reduce body lean, and control over and understeering. If you "stiffen" the rear you reduce understeering.
if i am not mistaking they had told me the stabalizer bars (sway bars) when they are diffective. i am going to change does on my 96 dgc for that reason my front end makes a rattle noise The end links and sway bar bushings are prone to failure on 1996 and later vans.
Not hard at all. 6 bolts for the sway bar, and depending on how many links 8 bolts if it is a 4 link, figure 2 bolts per link. ues jack stands to hold the rear axel in place and do it one link at a time. The sway bar cones off in one piece so do that last.
sway bar
A sway bar is a torsion bar mounted laterally on a suspension and is designed to reduce side sway. The sway bar attempts to accomplish this by transferring movement from one side of the suspension to the other. This is done through the connection of a torsion bar to each side of an axle by flexible links. (Sway bar links)
$40 a piece for the sway bar links and $50 for labor
My front swaybar has broken twice, just have it removed. Honestly, you won't hardly notice the difference and it won't break again!
