1990 Stabilizer bar bushings
Hi Fellas
So I have a 1990 Toyota 4x4 extra cab pickup 3.O litre.
The passenger side stabilizer bar bolt has pulled through the hole I guess due to a rusting metal washer that is next to the bushing.
I'm not a mechanic but I know how to use a wrench.
#1 Could I fix this problem myself ? I want to change the bolts and rubber bushings on both sides.
#2 Can I replace the bushings and bolts without lifting the truck off the ground ?
#3 Should I replace with stock Toyota parts or are there better ones out there and who makes them ?
#4 When replacing the bolts and bushings do they need to be to certain foot pounds torque ?
Thanks Very Much !

I think most people could handle doing this then some people just should not be allowed to own tools!!When these bushings go I had just used Energy Suspension Bushings
May as well do the bushings where the bar bolts to the frame as well.
I just tighten then up with the air ratchet and call it good
As far as lifting the truck it would depend if you can get underneath .

What Diameter is the bar ?
Wyoming9 or others
Put this up again in hopes someone will reply .
Do you know the diameter of the stock front stabilizer bar as I see Energy Suspension lists a few diameters in millimeters ?
Why would there be different stock diameters of the stabilizer bar ? I don't want to buy the wrong bushing set
Thanks
