Default Torsion bar clicking

Ok so i have this anoying noise when i brake , accelerate, and turn, and hit bumps. i have narrowed it down to the torsion bars clicking at the crossmember. now I have seen lots of answers to hood hinges and such but only saw one about the bushings that are back there... anyone replace those bushings before, and any idea how i would go about changing them.. is there any special tools need to take apart that crossmember and also how much load is on tha torsion bar when the front is hanging in the air..?

Thanks

There has been atleast one discussion on this before. I do not believe that it was too terribly difficult of a job. It is a fairly confined space though.

hey thanks for the info, i went into the local autoparts store here and they looked in the book for a 95 blazer, and it only lists that bushing up to 94. and the pic in there book doesn't look like what i have.. i am kinda confused here, the noise is def coming from back there, but another question i was wondering is if the control arm bushings have a little play in them will it cause the torsion bar to move back slightly moving the mount and making a squeek, does that sound plausible? i do notice a slight bit of play in my upper control arm bushing.. hmmm. this noise is driving me insane..
