Just finished installing new sway bar bushings and links; thanks to the great tutorials and videos from this forum. Took me a lot longer than I'd expected - about 3 hours total.

Only difficulty was with the left-hand side bushing - had a lot of trouble getting in oriented correctly. Finally did so after repeating the Robert the Bruce story (spider!) to myself.

Thanks to all who have created the wonderful instructions, tutorials, and videos.

Next, upper control arm bushings, then upper shock mounts.

 

Im about to do the same - what was the issue in orientation??

 

Only issue was driver-side (US) - opening (slit) in the bushing should face the rear of the vehicle (some say the front!), but very limited access to that side. Oriented bushing, slid it into place, and it rotated as it went in so that the opening spread apart and faced up. Repeated attempts to reorient the bush in place were futile, but the third installation got it to get in place properly oriented.

One other thing to note - look at your new sway bar link if you're replacing them - there are only two flats on the inner side, so make sure your 18mm open end wrench gets on them.
