QUESTION: 2002 s60 is the car in question

Answer
Joe,  I can honestly say I havent had to do any yet.  but they are fairly easy.  Air tools would help.  Study it and remove the nuts on both sides and then the bar will flip up.  replace the bushings on both sides since you have then apart.  Are you sure they didnt tell you the links were bad?  Or are they telling you the bushings that hold the bar in place?  I just looked up the parts list and I dont have a listing for the grommets.  Let me know or I can look in the shop computer Monday to make sure thats what you need.  Roger
