I need to install the bushings that surround the front sway bar where it attaches to the underside of the car. Ive found some on PDM [racing.com](http://racing.com) but it seems they arent the type that “crack” open and slide on. Does this mean then that I have to remove the whole sway bar and somehow slide these bushings over its rusty, pitted surface around all the bends and so on, or is there an easier way. maybe they are cracked and i just cant see in the pic but i dont think so anyone? ---

Yeah, I think you gotta take the whole thing off… You might as well sand and/or paint it too…or just get a new bars & bushings set. ---
