Toyota said the engine and transaxle should be removed on the Avalon in order to change the swaybar bushings.
I was able to force my arm back in there with a wrench and back out the bolts enough to slide the bushings out from their brackets.
Not a great design, but at least it did end up being quite quick and cheap to do by doing it DIY.
Now I'm looking to go get a replacement engine for the Prius... Ooooooohhhh Boy!! Here we go!!
