Front Sway bar help

[Crashnrondo]

So my rubber bushings are shot and squeaking and same thing with the sway bar end links. I'm sure everything is rusted tight so can the bolts just be cut off and replaced with all new hardware? To clarify, is everything just bolted through the frame and bar or will I have to rely on a welded nut to the frame or bar?

I would be replacing both end links, both sway bar bushings and mounts with new.

Thanks,
Ron

Spray the bolts with some rust penetrating oil or heat them up with a torch and you can use an impact wrench to break them loose.

beat thE sHIIT outta those bolts do whatever it takes to get them off!! Then just go to AutoZone or Advance and get some PolyPerformance sway bar bushings, the brackets come with it. go to Ace and grab some bolts, washers, and locknuts , ENJOY!! i just went through the samething bout my 4Runner out of Cleveland, Ohio it was KILLED with RUST!!! I have replaced all my bushings under my 4Runner minus the upper rear sway bar bushings, and the control arm bushings in the front. Check out your steering rack bushings too mine were destroyed! 20$ fix @ Toytec and about 2 hours of my time...with my breaker bar!! FUN FUN! have fun wrenchin! I remember what it was like driving without my sway bar in the front !!! hahaha :lookout:!!
