Wingnut, of course has a nifty how-to on how to replace the swaybar bushings.

But, since mine are not clunking, instead I get a front-end squeak from suspension compression & rebound, and for the past week, more squeaking from steering while parking (which does load up the sway bars).... just a quick reminder... spray some silicone lube into the bushings every now and then when you go underneath the car for things such as oil changes.

I don't think a DIY is necessary... since Wingnut's how-to will tell you where to spray

Aren't the revised bushings impregnated with some sort of solid lubricant like talc or something?
