do you have replacement bushes?

surely you can just unbolt the old ones and put the new ones in there place?

Jack front of car up, put stands under, remover wheels, undo link rods, undo sway bar mounts, replace bushes, reassemble in reverse. Very simple, but you need both wheels unloaded.

Make sure you use urethane grease. Do the bolts up lightly, then torque up at normal ride height.
