    Sway bar bushings

    My sway bar bushings are in pretty bad shape. Last time I looked they were all rotted away. But what I want to know is if I replace just the bushings will this have any affect on the handling capability of my car?? Also how hard is it to replace the FROnt sway bar bushings? It looks pretty simple just take the wheel off and it looks like the bolt on there has two nuts one on the top and one on the bottom. Iam thinking just unbolt those and either replace the bushings or replace the whole bolt too. any ideas guys??????

    It helps a little with handling, especially going thru a corner, but not substantially. If you drive your car alot, then you can tell the difference. Those bolts might be stuck in there, I broke one side. There are also 2 more bushings that you might want to check on the sway bar.
    You might want to get some polyurethane ones for a "tigher" feel

    it is very easy to do. i changed my front bushings to Polyurethane bushings. i bought two sets long time ago and i still have one left. If you want it, $15+ shipping and they are yours.
