Question about replacing engine mount on top of engine. S80

The large, circular engine mount (bushing) located on top of the engine that attaches to the large black stabilizer bar that runs between the shock towers is shot and needs to be replaced.

My question is...is it necessary to also replace the two bushings on either end of the stabilizer bar? There is "some" wiggle in the bar when I rock it back and forth (fore and aft) but that might be normal? I took the bushings out to look at them and they seem intact, i.e., the metal collar has not separated from the rubber part.

Any input appreciated. Thanks.

My opinion is not to change those two bushings. They are suppose to wiggle. Save your money.

You are correct. The mount bar will have some "slight" movement on the strut tower. Changing out this torque mount is one of the easiest repairs I did to my s80. IIRC, took about 5-10 min.
