    I am planning on replacing the bushings on my sway bars for my 2000 v6 limited 4R. Aside from them, what other bushings are easy or semi easy, to replace, with just regular hand tools? I just don't know the names of the front end parts to ask you guys. Thanks in advance.

    Do you have a Torque wrench? If so, you can do the front end link bushings. I think that's what they are called. At the tips of the sway bar ends.

    You are squeezing rubber together and you won't be able to get the right compression on those otherwise. It's good to have a Torque Wrench anyways, every nut and bolt on a car has a Torque spec. You'll need it for Spark Plug replacements, etc. I always figure that the money saved equals free tools!
