installing swaybar bushing ?
Is this a straight swap = remove old & replace with new?
Do I need to remove the end links? They were just replaced a couple of weeks ago.
Thanks for the help!

I think Zerstorer is trying to say yes. Unbolt both bushing shells from the frame, drop the sway bar (it will be hanging from the endlinks... you can take it off of the endlinks if you want; you'll probably want to clean the sway bar where the new bushings will go), apply grease to the bushings and on the sway bar, pop on the bushings (they should have a slit to open the bushing and pop onto the bar), then bolt it all back up. 15 minute job if you're good and have the right tools. Put aside an hour if you're a novice.

Done!! (yesterday)
Took me a little over an hour. Not bad for a girl, just learning how to work on my car myself. Yeah, I'm pretty impressed with myself.

I have yet to understand why it matters where the slit goes. If the bushing is thoroughly greased, it shouldn't matter.
