Part install, need a little help - 5/2/2008 12:06:00 PM    amc3000   Posts: 15 Joined: 4/21/2008 Status: offline I tried doing a search and didnt find too much. Wondering if anyone can point me in the right direction. Looking to replace sway bar bushings in my 1992 Honda Accord this weekend. Also, looking to replace outer tie rod ends. Anyone got tips, or a How-To anywhere?   Thanks Post #: 1

Remove the sway bar end links and then remove the 4 bolts holding the 2 U mounts on. Replace rubber then reverse it all. _____________________________ USE ME TO SEARCH HAF PWOTY 2008!

Way easier to do, just hold the bolt with a wrench and ratchet away at the nut. The washers should have the domed ends facing each other and the bushing have metal in the middle of each pair. _____________________________ USE ME TO SEARCH HAF PWOTY 2008!
