My 1994 945T needs a new sway bar link on the driver's side. It's separating from the lower bushing. Is this an urgent replacement item, and is it remotely DIY without a jack stand? I have a service appointment at the dealer for 3 weeks, but I can get it in sooner if need be.

FWIW, I just had a 100K service (the car has 98,500 miles) and my indie mechanic didn't notice this, nor the worn strut rod bushings. He's missed a few other things when our cars have been in for regular service, so I'm likely to move on. He's a nice guy, but.

The tech who went over my car at the clinic at Boston Volvo will do this work. That's a useful way for them to get new service customers - a free one-hour evaluation.

Another question: is it prudent to replace both links at the same time?

Thanks for your comments.
