front sway bar bushing noise
How often do you guys change sway bar bushing? for past couple months i'm experiencing lots of noises/rattle/clunk sound coming out of the front, especially when i'm going over small potholes/speed bumps. last night i sprayed WD40 on front sway bar bushing and replaced sway bar links and noise went away BUT that over speed bumps/potholes clunking noise still present, so i am guessing i need new bushing? its just aprx. 30,000miles ago i replaced oem ruber bushings with new daizen polyurethane bush. and now after 30k miles again? aren't they supposed last long? ........2day ordered new daizen bushing set.

I ask because I've been noticing a similar problem in my 2001 GS430 of minor clunking going over rough surfaces at low speed. I replaced the end-links this weekend.
When I looked at the sway bar bushings, they looked fine, and so I avoided replacing them, but now you got me wondering...
