front sway bar repair - alignment needed?

[ed4741]

My 98 4Runner with 158k miles has developed a squeak in the front driver's side suspension. I'd like to try replacing the sway bar bushings, is there a preferred parts store with the kit? Also, will a front end alignment have to be performed? Thanks much.

spray some wd40 and you should be good,

local auto parts should have OE bushings.

no alignment it needed

Thanks for getting back to me. Having to get an alignment was going to be a PITA.

WD40 is not a good solution because it will dry out quickly and start squeeking again. Go to the hardware store and get some thick lithium grease. That would work best and last a long time.
