BLUF: Can you make a slit in an OEM
bushing and just pop it into place or do you actually have to drop the swaybar and slide it on from the end?
Background: My swaybar bushing on the DS front completely disintegrated. Looking to an install a new OEM one and read up in the FSM about the procedure. I noticed that most after market bushings have a slit down the middle that allows you to just open it up and put it in place after you remove the bracket. Seems like that would be a lot easier than jacking the truck, taking the wheel off and dropping the sway bar.
Thanks.
