Much thanks for posting this donbryce. No one has posted to this Thread since 2003 so I felt it is time. This is a time saving procedure for all of you out there wanting to change your front sway bar bushings but not the bar itself. I preformed the above procedure with relative ease and am VERY satisfied to have changed my drivers side sway bar bushing without removing the brake booster. Please note that you must be comfortable working in a VERY tight space. Exercise great patience during this job and you will have no trouble. Also, you must use GOOD judgment on how much pressure you can place on the wires entering the fuse box. Pull to tight and you got big trouble on your hands. You can see in the pictures below that I had very little room to operate the socket wrench once I got it on each of the bolts. The bolts come off slow but it is very much worth it. I started this project last night at 5:30pm. By 7:50pm I had BOTH sway bar bushings replaced, all my tools put away and I was standing in front of my sink washing up. See attached pictures for an idea of how much space you will be working with.

Cheers!
