Can I change my sway bar & endlink bushings myself? What's the steps & difficulty leevel

Endlinks in theory are not too hard. Two nuts on either side. However, they often seize and for the inexperienced this can be difficult to deal with. Often comes down to cutting them off. The swaybar itself is buried and it's not likely you will want to do it yourself. Pretty sure the subframe has to come out to do it, but haven't looked too close.

If you have a cut-off tool I wouldn't hesitate to try the endlinks. Worst case scenario you have the cut the endlink bolts off.

Cheers.

End links are easy, and we sell adjustable high grade ones for the Yaris.

The sub-frame has to be partially dropped to snake a front sway bar in there -- the rear sway bar is very easy.

It was a great eight year run, but it was time to focus on other things. I'm still selling parts on eBay under micro*image seller ID and customers can still make requests for anything specific.
