Had a chance to get under the car tonight. Turns out the rubber part of the bushing slipped out of its sleeve. Meaning the rubber part of the bushing remained on the stud attached to the spring pan, while the sleeve part of the bushing remained in the end link. Anyone seen this happen before?

I removed the end link and all parts of the bushing from the car and brought them down cellar where, with the use of some silicone spray, a couple of strategically sized sockets, and a bench vise, I managed to convince the rubber part to return to where it belongs. Now, I realize this isn't a permanent fix (I can't really consider the bushing to be one piece anymore), but I figure as long as I keep an eye on it, it should get me through until I need to put the car away for the winter, which is most likely less than two months away.

The other side of the sway bar looks okay.

These bushings are two years and a few months old and came from Centerline as part of the complete front end bushing/tie rod ends/ball joint kit. Don't remember the brand of the bushings, but the tie rod ends were Frap . . . installed before I read the negative opinions of that brand.
