Do you drive it hard?? If not then forget about the sway bar bushings IMO.

I drove for ages with a broken link and never even realized it.. the way I drive it's just not something I worry about. (sounds unsafe. oh well)

Front and rear are removed from my Buick to hit side-to-sides better, haha.

Control arm bushinga.. you need a big C-clamp basically and some slippery stuff... chamfer the edge, then press it in. Do-able for sure, but a PITA in execution.
I wouldn't bother replacing them unless there is an actual problem with them requiring new ones. Then do it, no big.


Honestly.. unless you want handling performance, just replace them as they wear. Jack the car up, poke around a bit.. grab and pry things lookin for excessive movement. Look for bushings that are cracked, worn, and missing chunks. Use your discretion.. if it isn't causing handling problems, noises, or throwing off your alignment, I probably would for-go it unless you're bored.
