pmohr, he means front...

I've never done this, but I wouldn't imagine it to be too terribly difficult.

I have also been told to only tighten the bushings while the car is on the ground.

This way bushings, etc. are not preloaded.

That's what I imagined, but the title specifically states rear, so who knows.

I changed mine today, my links were destroyed! It wasn't hard, it's about a 2 hour job taking your time. PB blaster on all of the bolts helped a lot. I still have some noises underneath the car, but I think those are coming from my exhaust... Many of my noises have subsided though. And the best part is, I no longer have that 'I'm going to die' sensation at highway speeds.

Its a piece of cake job. Removing the old link can take some time its its all rusted up. You'll want to jack up the whole front end so you dont fight the swaybar. Most of the time you'll need to do both at the same time anyhow.
