If you are replacing the swaybar it is likely that you may need to change the sway bar links as well. Other suspension parts include control arms, control arm bushings, struts, strut mounts...

SOURCE: My Cutlass Supreme S need diagram on installing starter.

I have a 3.4L engine and my starter is wedged in between the frame, oil filter, and then covered by A/C unit tubing headed to the A/C compressor.

Before I got started with the starter I personally had to remove the engine brace on the front of the car holding the engine in place to the frame (very easy) and laid it back on the engine. Then I removed the fans on my radiator and bracing sitting atop the radiator to help clear the way. I personally also had to remove some A/C tubing running to the A/C compressor of the car in order to remove the starter which was still running into some hose right next to the oil filter. So the A/C will have to be recharged afterwards.

Remove the little plastic shield covering the flywheel and some of the starter. Remove the 3 bolts holding the starter. Slowly work the starter out of its recessed hole being careful not to pull to hard on the hose right next to the oil filter.

Place the new guy in there and reinstall all components. Only this time you will need to recharge your A/C when you are done.

First remove the plastic shield covering the flywheel.

SOURCE: I need to know how to put rear struts on a 96 olds

I just had to do this to my cutlass supreme. It is fairly easy. First, you need to jack the car up in the rear (but dont forget to put wheel chocks in front of the front wheels to prevent any chance of rolling, and break all of the lug nuts loose while the car is still on the ground, and put jack stands under it to keep the car raised safely) and remove the rear wheels. Then look at where the strut mounts to the wheel, there are two bolts holding it on the wheel assembly; remove those (you may need to jack ut the suspension to remove the bolts). Now locate the two smaller bolts to each side of the the strut itself on the strut mount, holding it to the car (this is located at the very top of the wheel well) and remove them. Now u can compress the strut by hand and wiggle it free from the car. Once u have the old strut out, remove the large nut that is securing the strut to the mount. In some cases this is impossible to do due to the rust that has binded them together. If this happens, you will need to purchase a new strut mount for your new strut. AutoZone seems to be the cheepest place for parts. To install the new struts just do everything backwards. When the new struts are installed, the wheels may be slanted down. If this is the case, do not worry, they just need time to "relax" or be broken in. I hope everything goes smoothly and i wish you luck.

I just bought a 95 olds cutlass supreme @ the sellers said it needs a back sway bar. Will that make my one tire sound like its bouncing around while driving? Or could it be a strut

sway bars just keep the car level when cornering
from your description I would be having a real close look at the tires for belt separation , bulges and missing tread, bad retreads .
the shockies could need replacing but I would consider the tires as prime suspects

I need a diagram of rear suspension on 1994 Ford Tempo

It's called a control arm. Sway bar is definitely not one of the names. The other two could be, but for different manufactures. And the parts look different. But have the same funtion.

Need a fuse box diagram for 1991 Olds Cutlass Supreme.

You can go to a nearby parts store and purchase a Haynes automotive reference guide and it contains all the different diagrams that would need. On the front of the book it would say 1990-94 lumina cutlass etc.
