swaybar bushing question

So I'm getting this noise when I go over bumps... A rattling noise... Sounds like my swaybar bushings... I looked under the car and all the bushings seem to be fine...Can they look fine from the outside but be bad inside? I dont think it is my struts because the car doesnt bounce... It could possibly be the mounts but I'm thinking its the bushings... Are they easy to replace? Thanks in advance?

Most likely its something else than the bushings, swaybar bushings dont sound like they rattle when you hit bumps.

Easiest way to check your mounts is to pop the hood, put your hand on the mount from under the hood, and then get someone to push the bumper down repeatedly and hard enough to get a good bouncing motion.

If the mount is busted you'll feel a kind of tapping coming from inside. My money is on one of the mounts...

Edit: If bushings look fine, they are. The ones with fluid will leak for a long time before you notice any noise and the ones that are just rubber have to damn near fall off before you notice any difference.
