rebuilding front suspention

[dirtyclown121]

anything i should watch out for in buying and putting on new bushings and tie rod ends. 83 tercel. any place with good inexpensive parts anyone might know

which bushings? sway bar ends? if the sway bar ends are really worn down, replace the whole bar. go to a wrecker or buy one new. just don't take a chance because buds have had them snap while driving. slather them up in never seize before putting them back together to help prevent further corrosion. for the tie rods, just paint some bright colour where the tie rod end threads onto the rack end so that you'll know roughly how far to thread the new one on.

the sway bar end bushings are expensive anywhere you go. for 4 pieces of rubber and 2 metal sleeves it's usually $120 or so. i got mine from toyota and they gave me a 25% or 30% discount because they couldn't believe how much the stupid things were. lucky me.

Check out the Parts Forum here...I posted OE part numbers and pricing on all front end bits from Butler Toyota in Indianapolis back in October of 2007. It had the best OE pricing at the time.
As dlb mentions - don't take a chance on the swaybar failing. It can be catastrophic.
Plenty of info available on procedures with a Search.
