any pics of the strut bar bushing
I may be saying it wrong but would anyone have a picture of the strut bar bushing located in the rear?This bushing sits inside a rod that connects to the spindle/hub.I also heard it is removable.I hear a clunk in the back when I go over potholes and I believe this is the problem.Does anyone know how much this bushing costs and who besides the dealer has it?When I go over bumps the car fishtails slightly and this tells me the struts on that same side is messed up
The actual name may be sway bar bushing which is a common problem on these cars.

I think that what you are refering to is Strut Rod.
Here is the picture:
It is #9. Even though it is hown separate from the bushing, it is one item. The only way to replace the bushing is to change the whole strut rod
It's around $95 each for 95-97 models.
You can buy it HERE
Sway bar bushings (#12) are not a problem on this car. They can last practically for ever, but they can be replaced in about 1/2 hour for $9 each.

I also know I need that side struts since the car fishtails when I hit the brakes.
Thank you.

The other side is almost new and besides the fishtail, the springs are gone on that side.When a passenger sits on that side in the back the rear tire touches the wheel well when I go through bumps and I don't think its' the 19 inches causing the problem.
I am going to replace the #9 bar,shocks and the spings on that side.

The car won't feel right if you do that because the two sides will still be different.
On the bright side, you have nothing to lose by doing it one side at a time
Good Luck.
