How to replace the front anti roll bar bushes on a 1999 ford focus hatch back?

There are two bushings on the bar, %26amp; their job is to isolate the noise the bar picks-up from the suspension from getting into the cabin. The factory bushings are rubber, maybe an inch or wider, %26amp; 'C' shaped from the side. The bushing is slipped over the round anti-roll bar, then the bushing %26amp; the bar are clamped to the frame of the car. Not hard to replace them - Just drop the two clamps, replace the bushings, %26amp; bolt the clamps back to the frame. The anti-roll bar does not support any weight, so you can undo the clamps without anything else moving, with the car either on the ground or on a lift.|||Unbolt the bracket holding the bush in place,lever the bar down slightly to release the bush and get the new one into place.Refit the retaining bracket.Hope this helps|||If you don't know get the job done professionally. there is no place for amateur mistakes in front suspension
