Sway Bar Bushings

[drewbsking]

I was just wondering how long it would take to change out warn sway bar bushing on our XJ's? Could I do it in the driveway or do I need to get the weight off the suspension?

Thanks in advance for your help.

It's pretty easy, No need to jack it up. 15 minutes if the 4 bolts arent stuck.

Sway bars come in different Dia. measure before you buy.

Grab a slide caliper. A measuring tape wont cut it. The good news is getting the right ones are the hardest part.:laugh:

YES! I used the Caliper at Napa to check my bar diameter and they had them overnight. Go Rubber for smooth plushy ride or Poly for less body roll and hard corners.

Don't forget to swap out the Sway Bar End Links at the same time (if you don't have a lift), I think they are like $9 each (get 2) and you will notice a marked improvement in Road manners.

Assuming this is for the 01 XJ listed in your details. The 97-01 should all have the same size bar, unlike the early models.
