'48 Sway Bar Bushing Replacement

[pasha]

 Took the Continental to Les Schwab to replace the sway bar bushings to save time and they said couldn't without disassembling many parts.  I didn't think it would be difficult.  Is there a secret to replacing the bushings other than opening the bracket and sliding the new one in place?  Guess I'll be replacing them after all!

Not that easy, but certainly doable! Yes, you have to remove things in the way to get them off, but well worth the effort.  I recently rebuilt my whole front end on my '41 Zephyr.  Remember cars of this vintage were built to run about 50,000 miles and then on to the junk heap.  Problem is they kept turning them out afterwards so there was never of a shortage in the junk yards.  But the front end handling/driving needs solid components.  Worn rubber bushings cause issues in steering and such.   You can get new bushings from Chris Harrell!
