Sway Bar Bushings..Should I attempt myself?
Being it's a 2010 it should have a 25mm/1"bar.
That correlates to the following:
- Energy suspension poly bushing for 1inch/25mm bar - greaseable - p/n 9.5161 (9.5110 non-greaseable)
- OEM GM part number 20902784 (GM calls them Isolators)
The Energy susp ones are kits, and include the mounting bracket for the bushings.
HOWEVER: make sure you keep the OLD mounting brackets in case you eventually go back to the GM bushings - as the GM bushings do not include the brackets.

Oh, I was just going by some of the post here on SB bushings, and recommendations, Es, AC delco, Moog, dorman ?.....The firestone here that never got back with me said there were certain brands that they would not put in..
Otherwise I don't have the hands on knowledge on these bushings to care.

The choices are rubber or poly. Shops like Firestone install whatever brand their local parts store carries, usually some iteration of Dorman. Dorman most likely buys them from the same factories everybody else does.
If there all just re brands all from the same factory then I'm just chasing my tail......which may be the case in this instance. But it looks like I'll be getting a better price from this other family owned shop....about $120.00 for changing the bushings (if they don't run into troubles)..... compared to 180 ish from Firestone.
Other than jacking up the vehicle, supporting it, taking off the front tires, removing the two bolts for the brackets on each side, and exchanging the bushings.... Not very much to it in my opinion. :/ What is the price on them, 25 bucks for the set? If I were him, I would just get the 25 year old to do it while he sits and points. Good expierence.
