Hello Friends, I'm planning to replace all the front end bushings including the sway bar bushing

Also, if necessary replace the dampeners while I'm in there. Would anyone familiar with

this advise me on what order in which I should go? I have already replaced the brakes.

Why I didn't do this then? I guess I was intimidated already and chickened out. Cluck Cluck

My suggestion would be to remove the sway bar first, replace it last. While the sway bar is off, do one side at a time until that side is complete, then do the other. If not familiar enough with the parts to just toss them in a bucket, lay them out on newspaper or whatever in the order removed just to keep similar parts from being misplaced during reassembly.

This is mostly an exercise in keeping it straight in your head. Take pictures before you start, use them for reference as you assemble.

tip from the cheap seats

check the A arms for elongated holes

replace the fulcrum pins if they show the slightest stress
