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.
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.
To change the sway bar bushing on a 2001 Pontiac Grand Am, start by lifting the front of the vehicle and securing it with jack stands. Remove the sway bar end links and any brackets holding the sway bar in place. Once the sway bar is free, remove the old bushings and replace them with new ones, ensuring they are properly seated. Reassemble by reinstalling the sway bar and end links, then lower the vehicle back to the ground.

To change the sway bar bushings on a Nissan Murano, start by safely lifting the vehicle and securing it on jack stands. Remove the sway bar links if necessary, then unbolt the old bushings from the sway bar. Replace them with new bushings, ensuring they are properly seated, and reattach the sway bar links. Finally, lower the vehicle and test for any unusual noise or handling issues.
Sway bar end links! If they are about 10" long (approx) and have 90* bushing and threaded stud on both ends (the other end goes to your sway bar).
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.
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.
No, sway bar links and sway bar pins are not the same. Sway bar links connect the sway bar (or anti-roll bar) to the vehicle's suspension components, helping to reduce body roll during turns. Sway bar pins, on the other hand, typically refer to fasteners or bolts used to secure components of the sway bar assembly. While both are related to the sway bar system, they serve different functions.
use airchisel to remove bushing then threaded rod with two big, thick washer to compress bushing . take socket to drive bushing in with maul and used some bearing grease to assist in install , dropping passenger side control arm makes it easier. what knuckles
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.
there should be a rear sway bar
