Replacing swaybar bushings...
Is it reasonable to replace the bushings and bearings in the suspension on my own? I've decided that an annoying creek in my suspension is a worn out bushing on the front right. Should I replace all of the bushings once I get down to it or is one ok? The car has 101k miles, but is in very good condition; should I look into other suspension work as well?

Cut off this plastic bushing..>>
As it's the reason for the squeak. Replace with 20mm Powerflex bushings from TTstuff.
At 100K you should replace the upper bushings and bearings also but that is an entirely separate operation...

Yes, but it's a PITA......>
Specially on the left side where there's an additional bolt that is hard to access...
(use a 1/2" or 13mm swivel headed open end/ratchet combo like a Gearwrench)
