You would need to have someone scan the body computer and the engine computer for trouble codes to proceed.

You need to remove the stabilizer bar and the hangers in the sub frame.Once you have the sway bar completely off you can remove the old bushings and then spray the bar with penetrating oil and put the new bushings in their place,where the old ones were.re bolt everything and you're done.

Its called a stabilizer/swaybar bar to link,or sway bar end connection link.(sometimes sway bar and bolt)Hope this helps

From your description it sounds like your looking for a stabilizer link. It connects the stabilizer bar to the lower control arm and looks like a long bolt with a few washers and bushings. The links are available from parts stores and usually run around $20 a side. The parts stores may list it as a "sway bar repair kit".

yes it can it's over 10 years old.

If your driving a 96 just look at tire wear if it is ok .. then you are probably doing ok .. That year is known for rough road rattles ... Just watch tire wear. tells you alot if your steering is tight also.

Howdy, sway bar/stabilizer. disconnect neg battery cable, disable air bag (if equipped, it was an option in 91), jack up vehicle, support w/ safety stands, remove front wheels, disconnect sway bar ends from the lower control arms, remove bolts retaining sway bar bushing brackets.remove sway bar. Check bushings for splits and deformation, clean inner and outer surfaces of bushings before installation, Make sure bushings are properly seated in their brackets. Tighten brackets to 12 ft lbs, and end mounts or link bolts to 16 ft lbs. Let me know how u make out countrycurt0
