Sway Bar bushing replacement on a 1984 Toyota tercel sr5?
The bushings of the Rear Sway Bar of my 1984 Toyota tercel sr5 (4wd wagon) have given out after 221000 miles and 22 years. Where the bar attaches to the frame on the passenger side the bushings are entirely gone, leaving the rear of my car bouncing side to side like a drunk hula dancer.
I need my car to go 500 miles on the interstate in less than a week. How much time will it take to fix these bushings? How do i know what to replace them with? Are there any tricks to getting everything down, apart, together, and back on?
I have a reasonable grasp of mechanics, but not a lot of time, or equipment. Any info is helpful and full instructions would be nothing but amazing... 
Thanks, happy holidays, and drive safely!
they are the rear anti-roll bar D bushes and should be a real easy fix. i find doing them over a pit best but if you can't just jack the rear end and put it on stands.i can't remember exactly but there's either two bolts holding each bracket or one bolt each side with the other end hooking into the body. the two bolt type you undo the bolts the bar may drop a bit if you have the Car Jacked remove old bushes they have a slit in them to allow you to remove them as do the new ones.fit replacement bushes and bolt back together. the ones that hook in one end are the same but when refitting them its easier to hook both brackets in at the same time and put each bolt in afew threads before you bolt both up.if you do one up first it can make the second one quite difficult.And always replace as a pair if you can. i hope I've helped i cant remember when i last did an 80's 4wd Toyota but they should be all very similar
