Stabilizer Arm Bushing - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

I found out why my cars creaking alot. The lower rubber stabilizer arm bushing popped and is now touch the top one lol

Is this a hard fix? Looks easy, do I need any special tools? Should I just buy two bushing and replace the other one as well??
Thanks for the advice in advance.

yah, u may as well do both.
u will need a press to get those bitches out...it will be really fun

for the stabalizer arm, do u mean swaybar endlinks or something totally different? cos endlink bushings may be small, but haaaahaha they will be pretty nicely seized in there :p

yeah its the end link bushings alright. It rattles like a puppy with a tag around his neck and creaks. I had a feeling that its gonna be a bitch to fix. I don't have the patience for locked bolts and nuts.

u might get lucky and find some ones that arent seized?

i'd rather give that a try rather than spend 75 each at toyota for brand new oem units :p

Man this sucks. I don't have much to look for at the junkyard since I'm getting hook ups for a headlight motor theres not much else I would do at a junkyard. I think I'll just stick with the dealer route for this one and get a mechanic to install em for me.
