I had my upper control arm bushings replaced this last spring. At the same time, the front sway bar was removed, one bracket straightened, new rubbers installed and the whole thing rewelded.

I borrowed the torsion bar tool from a friend, but have no idea if they actually used it.

My bushings came from NAPA per the X-ref (actually for a Lincoln) They seem to work fine.

Roughly $700 if I recall correctly.

Rides a bit better and sits a bit higher. No terrible metal to metal thunks either.
