Wonder how much it'd be for non-warranty? Any clue, or atleast cost of the parts?

I bought the inner sway bar bushings for mine but the bolts are difficult to get too. maybe i am doing something wrong?

Hey ChevyMgr do you have the removal and replacement procedure for this?

I just got back from the dealer with what I thought was noise in front end and they told me The seals in the rear shocks were leaking. So they replaced those and no noise yet. Mine is an 07 with 27,000 on it. Allwork done under warranty. You just never know.
