Not sure how to change sway bar bushings - 2008 Hyundai Elantra

The sway bar bushings are easily replaceable ....remove the 2 bolts that hold the mount and remove the old/damaged bushing.....slip the new one over the sway bar and replace the bracket....done.
I would replace both while I was under the car....here is a picture for reference....

the sway bar is a bar that runs acrossed the front of the van from strut to strut. It is bolted to the cradel and then has links that run from the bar to the strut to increase stability. The sway bar bushings are rubber mounts that hold the bar down to the cradel. The bar runs though the mounts one each side where the bar and the cradel meet. If they are wore out you will normally hear a clucking noise from the front end when you hit bumps. To remove and replace them there is two bolts that hold a steel cap on top of them on each side. Remove the cap from both sides then the rubber mounts will have a split in them so you can get them off the bar. To install them is just the reverse of the removal. Good luck! 4 thumbs up is appeciated if this helps.

YES YOU CAN CHANGE THE BUSHINGS MOST OF THE TIME ALL YOU NEED IS WHAT THEY CALL SWAY BAR LINKS IT A LONG BOLT WITH RUBBER BUSHINGS ON IT

Remove the sway bar links from lower control arms. Replace the sway bar mount to frame bushings first. Then install sway bar link bushings. Note how they come apart and install in the same manner.

Check the sway bar bushings on the frame and the sway bar end links, it's common for the sway bar bushings on the frame to go bad and the sway bar end links bushings to go bad. You can buy the urethane bushings at Auto Zone or Parts Source for around $35.00 for both sides.Good luck and keep me posted, be glad to know your got your car running 100% again soon.

ok you have me confused? Your sway bar should be attached to your frame and your "LOWER CONTROL ARMS" via sway bar bushings.

are you refering to the 5/16" bolt with 4 rubber bushings? 2 on each end? If so, cut them. Everything you need will come in kit. Bolts, bushings and sleeves.

The sway bar bushings are under the large clamps that hold the bar to the frame. The ends of the sway bar are connected to the struts by the sway bar links. When the links wear out, they clunk--not squeak. The bushings are under the retainer in the pic below.

besides changing the bushings, did you check the sway bar itself or the degree of the linkage bolts, in time seeing as it's 16 years old now it may have been stressed and bent, buying smaller linkage bolts with stiffer bushings may help tremendously...worst case scenerio you may have to replace the sway bar itself.

Howdy, sway bar/stabilizer. disconnect neg battery cable, disable air bag (if equipped, it was an option in 91), jack up vehicle, support w/ safety stands, remove front wheels, disconnect sway bar ends from the lower control arms, remove bolts retaining sway bar bushing brackets.remove sway bar. Check bushings for splits and deformation, clean inner and outer surfaces of bushings before installation, Make sure bushings are properly seated in their brackets. Tighten brackets to 12 ft lbs, and end mounts or link bolts to 16 ft lbs. Let me know how u make out countrycurt0
