Here's how to replace the front sway bar bushings and stabilizer bar end links on a Toyota Camry.
Front end clunks over bumps are a common occurrence on many vehicles with worn suspension parts. The stabilizer bar end links have two ball sockets on either end which can wear out. Additionally the sway bar bushings, which attach the sway bar to the sub-frame can also enlarge, become dry and worn and cause the sway bar itself to have excessive play and clunk, knock, click or pop when the car is driven on a bumpy road.
To diagnose this, disconnecting the two sway bar end links and taking the vehicle for a test drive can narrow the problem down. This video is a step by step tutorial on to replace the stabilizer bar links and bushings on many FWD Toyota vehicles, such as the Toyota Yaris, Echo, Matrix, Corolla, Camry, Sienna, Highlander, Avalon, Solara and Lexus RX300, RX330, RX350, ES300, ES330 and ES350.
To replace the end links, two nuts are removed, one from the strut, and the other from the sway bar. Many times these nuts are seized to the ball pin and have to be cut off. A Mevotech Original Grade part was used as a replacement, which has a similar design as OEM.
To replace the sway bar bushings, the sub-frame has to be dropped slightly to access two rear bracket bolts. This is because the sway bar bolts on top of the sub-frame, but is underneath the body, not leaving enough room to back off the bolt. The front bracket bolt can be removed using a ratchet through the wheel well. A Mevotech Supreme bushing kit was used as a replacement.
