That's exactly how I did it...the dealer did all the warranty work, but as soon as the warranty ran out, I found a great mechanic. I have honestly learned more about my Azera through my mechanic than I ever did through the dealer.
 
How many miles does your Azzy have on it now?

The sway bar bushings were ordered from Hyundai $21.12 each. Repair shop unable to order from other suppliers.

YIKES!!! Does your repair shop allow you to order parts yourself and provide them? $21.12 is extremely steep considering the prices I've found (at least 1/3 that). At any rate, you got them replaced and the dreaded clunk noise that so many have complained about is finally gone, yes?

Jamazera...if you're hearing the clunk, go for it. My mechanic said that there's really no way to tell how long the bushings will last, but he said they could go bad anywhere between 20K to 80K miles (big window...i know).

That's good to hear. I think most everyone that replaced the OEM Michelins found a huge difference in ride and handling, as long as they chose a good tire. I've seen postings of various tires that seemed to make a big difference. Also, find you a mechanic that's willing to let you supply your own parts and then look online for them. Considering I'm way past the warranty on mine, I order all my parts from rockauto.com and couldn't be happier.
 
For example...I had to get an o2 sensor replaced. My mechanic told me the Bosch O2 sensor that he was going to order was $125. RockAuto.com had the same one for $65. So he told me to order it and he installed it for me. I have also been surprised to find that some parts you can order come from the actual maker of Hyundai parts as well, but you also get a choice of what brand you want to go with. All in all, a great experience so far.

I believe you order one set of bushings for the sway bar, but considering the low cost...I will probably order a few sets and just keep them on hand for down the road.
