Sway Bar Bushings?

my car would constantly make squeeking sounds over any type of road (straight, bumpy.. you name it). I would have to turn the music up louder to shut out reality...

It got to a point where i couldn't stand it anymore, and coincidentally soon after that point it was determined that my car needed some changes.

2 brake pads, 2 calipers, 2 rotors, and 2 brake lines later my car still squeeked... so i went to someone to have it checked out.

It turns out that my sway bar is making the noise.. but not the sway bar particularly, but *here's where you come in i need that part name* the bushings to it?

It's a spring like part im guessing it's at an angle, and i was told it's about $40 a peice (and i need 2 of them).

i was wondering if anyone knows what the exact part is called / if anyone has diagrams? thanks

I just changed my sway bar endlinks this weekend. I had the same squeaking you described and so far it hasnt shown up again. Go to any competent auto parts store and ask for two endlink kits for the front sway bar (mine were made by Moog, urethane and came with a grease fitting). Shouldn't cost you more than $10-$20 each.

I bought the kits in the second link. Nobody carried the actual frame bushings locally so I'll just replace them later on when I get a chance.
