problem with bushings

[sq_camry]

I have had my camry for a little while now, but my question is this, when i bought the car, i knew it had a suspension problem... ie bushings going, and i intended to have it fixed later on, because this isnt a major problem. My mom had the same problem with hers back in 01'... I believe when we were driving on the freeway she noticed it and had it fixed... but it seems it came back. well a year later after they changed the design she got rid of it because of this problem. :flashforward a few years: i bought mine because i liked the feel and ride of the camry and it has this problem as well... how many of you guys have had this problem and why hasnt toyota done something about it.



sorry, i should probably let you know that it is a 98' LE and im referring to the 97 98 99 00 01 camry's with all trim lines.

Do'nt go overboard changing them all at once unless you have money to burn
Only trouble I had was the anti sway bar bushings . I have 97 LE 4 cyl with 171,000km. Clunking was really bad in very cold weather.

Yup, thats what I have wrong. Clunks pretty nasty at times. I just got the bushings this tuesday at Toyota for $16.50 per bushing (x2). I'm gonna see if I can try to do it. But even if I decide to I wouldn't have the slightest idea on how to. Anyone got any tips? Otherwise I have to bring it to a mechanic. Thanks
