I have jack stands, but they are the wrong shape to fit the jacking
points on the car. And where would I place the jack so the jack stands
can support the car in the right place?

Why did one end of the sway bar move freely and the other not?

Anyway, I got the old bushing out and installed the new one, but the
bolt that brought other metal out with it -- after cleaning up the
threads of both the bolt and the part into which it screws -- does not
grip. I'm thinking of trying to find a longer bolt with the same thread
and putting a nylock nut on the bottom.
