I'm about to replace the bushings and end links on my front stabilizer bar after reading through some threads about the knocking in my steering wheel when going over washboard roads. I noticed the end link bushing is cracked and looks pretty bad.
I searched the forum and couldn't find a detailed write-up on how to replace the end links and bushings. I'm wondering if anyone has any tips/hints to save time. I've always found this forum so useful and been able to take care of 95% of the maintenance thanks to you all.
Lastly, should I replace the bushings/links in the rear sway bar as well. I don't want to create more work for myself, but I'm staying with my in-laws for the next couple of weeks and have access to some great tools courtesy of my father-in-law.
BTW, on the drive across country to my in-laws, I threw a code on my scan guage that was an underboost code. I found the crack in my charger hose. Duct taped the heck out of it to get to Knoxville to buy a new one and got me to Colorado no problem. I've since replaced the other hoses at the intercooler and can't believe the difference in performance of the engine. I'm experiencing fuel mileage I've never had in my 2005 with 94K on it. It jumped from 18.5-19.5 running 70mph to 21.5 running 75mph, and much quieter and cooler. Makes me think there was a crack in the hose for a long time.
Again, thanks for all the advice.
