I have a clunking coming from the front end and I got underneath today and the only thing that I could find that was loose was the sway bar or stabilizer bar. I'm not sure what its called, but it runs through two bushings and I can rattle it around inside both bushings. Is this normal? I can reproduce the clunking sound just by shaking this bar.

Can these bushings be replaced?

 

If you mean the sway bar bushings, #14 in the pic, Yes they are replacable and they should be tight. Bushing part # is 52113085AB and retail for $15.20

 

I replaced mine with energy suspension ones... $10 bux.

 

Yes, that's exactly what I'm talking about. Where can I get them?

 

Do I remove the sway bar and slide them on or what?

 

I can get them for you or you can go to your local dealer. Lots of aftermarket companies offer them.

Thanks Parts/Service. I'm relieved to know where the clunking is coming from. It's been getting worse over time, but should be an easy fix.

 

Is a very easy fix. Let me know if you need more info.....DAVID
