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.

1. We all know whos sock that is 5:36. 2. Info I got from hayness, which says don't use mineral or petroleum based grease on those bushings. It hurts them over time!? 3. I swear camry suspension is 90% similar to Lexus RX350, and probably to most FWD/AWD toyota/lexus. So the fix probably applies. 4. 3:31 I got myself in exactly the same situation while I was changing front lower ball joints. My ratcheting wrench got stuck between ball joint stud nut and drive shaft. So I spent 2 hours manually grinding joint stud nut with a circular file. The second day I got water sacks in my hand. 5. Thanks for making such a real video.

@@speedkar99 So, emboldened by your experience, I had a crack at changing the bushings on my 2013 Aurion ZR6 (may not have been sold much outside of Australia, but it is a V6 made in Oz and based roughly on the Camry body). Fortunately for me and any other Aurion owner, I found that the clearances we ever so slightly better than for the Camry and I wasn't quite as jammed up with removing and installing the bolts. In particular, no need to drop the sub-frame. And of course there is no road salting in Australia, so I had no issues with rusted-on bolts. Even though my mechanic had assessed the sway bar bushings as ok, and they only appeared slightly mis-shaped when I removed them, replacing them and the links reduced the clunks from the front end to a similar degree as replacing the shockers and control arms. Thanks again.

My '02 Camry has been clunking over bumps for three years now and you may have just solved the mystery for me with that bushing replacement. I've replaced the lower control arms, sway bar links, motor mounts, ball joints and struts. I've had mechanics look at it and can't figure it out. A faulty replacement part maybe? A bad CV joint? It's been driving me absolutely crazy and it inexplicably gets way worse during the winter (maybe the rubber shrinking in the cold). I swear, if it was just a stupid $5 bushing this whole time...

You must have the 4 cylinder version. I replaced my swaybar bushings on 03 camry se v6 and it was a beya.... mounting points are so close to the body that i had to use the open end wrench and go at it like an eighth of a turn at the time. The front bolts were just a few microns for clearance between the bracket nut side and the body of vehicle on left side. All 3 bolts came out just fine to my surprise and only 1 broke off. And I drilled it out fairly easily and recut thread.

2006 Solara 3.3 SLE... so I just did mine including end links and struts... i was freaked out at some of the vids but let me say it was NO WHERE as difficult as people have posted. I did mine from underneath but ONE side at a time (why? I live on 3 acres and if ANYTHING happened such as a jack stand/jack failure its RIP me)- from underneath i had full access to the mid section bushings... yes space is tight but i did it with a 1/4 drive for the easy access bolt and a 12mm combo wrench from underneath.... at one point the only thing connected was the UNJACKED end link. As I was also doing the struts when I was done with the jacked side completely including installed mid section bushing I went to the other side- passenger side.. the bolt closest to the front is a little easier to access from underneath when tightening with a 1/4" drive. IF I had someone at the house for sure jacking BOTH sides would have been easier but not by a lot as from underneath you can really do almost ALL. I hope this helps. IF I ever have to do this again its a 45 min repair. i hope this helps... i got a few short vids but it really wasnt so difficult to warrant any pics or vids

I changed mine in my LS400 at 160K because I wasn't sure that it had been done at 90k. I regretted that because the gear oil looked very good and the exactly correct replacement was a little hard to find. If you replace yours, be sure to remove the filler plug before the drain plug.

03 es300 is just transmission fluid. The differential is built in to trans they use the same fluid. Transaxle is what they say. Tiv fluid but I use valvoline import atf on my es300 2003. There's magnets that can catch metal so it's worth dropping the trans pan once to clean. Use same filter. Very possible to use a wrench to drop the trans pan it's a pain but my dewalt 10mm box wrench has just the right angle so I don't have to raise the trans. Idk about your other car.

Yes the anti seize will affect the torque

What do you think of using polyurethane sway bar bushing? It should not change the comfort much I believe but last much longer than rubber. Toyota parts are all good but the limitation of rubber always bite us in the rear. Common problem in most Toyota, especially rear sway bar bushing.

Dear speedkar99: would be very much appreciated if you can answer this query: although sway bar has been around for many decades, end links(drop links) has only started to appear in the last 15 years or so. What is its function and why it didn't need it before? Thank you very much in advance sir!

Great video. Please what could be the cause of this? I hear a creaking noise in my 2008 Toyota Corolla only when I accelerate slowly with my leg on the pedal but the noise goes away as soon as my leg is off the acceleration pedal. Also hear the noise on a bumpy road but more often when the car is moving slowly. Noise seems to disappear when I move at high speed.
