How to Service and Repair the Sway Bar Bushing on Ford Escape?

The first step to servicing or repairing the sway bar bushing requires the vehicle to be in neutral position on a hoist.

Examine the sway bar bushing for signs of wear; change it with a new one if existence of wear is detected. Reinstallation requires completing the opposite procedure to restore correct sway bar bushing assembly with bushing flanges oriented upwards and bushing splits facing forward.
