Default Part install, need a little help

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

Sway bushings? The rubber inside the U shaped mounts? Remove the sway bar end links and then remove the 4 bolts holding the 2 U mounts on. Replace rubber then reverse itall.

There's a good possibility you will shear those bolts so douse them in penetrating oil first.

well, i guess its the other end. The end closer to the wheel. The one with like one bolt and 4 rubber bushings. I guess the end links.

Yeah, they're technically called stabilizer end links. Way easier to do, just hold the bolt with a wrench and ratchet away at the nut. The washers should have thedomed endsfacing each other and the bushing have metal in the middle of each pair.
