Loosen lug nuts, jack up front end. Take off wheels. Take out bolt, replace bushings. Tighten bolt.

It wont be as long as both front wheels are off the ground. Dont try to do this just jacking up one side at a time...

Ben you comming to Maxus?

I hope to have my steering nice and tight by then. New inner tie rods, ball joints, Energy sway bar endlinks, OEM sway bar bushings, Energy control arm bushings.

When replacing any of the front-end bushings (swaybar, endlinks, control arm) is an alignment necessary?

If you replace the control arm bushings yeah you probably should. Sway bar doesn't affect it really.

thanks guys, I replaced the endlinks and the car drives much better and without the noise. I had took it to 3 mechanics and 1 dealer vist and they couldn't figure out cause of the noise in left front wheel area specially while driving over uneven surfaces.
