Installation / Application:
- Difficulty: 2/5
- Estimated time: 30-60 minutes per side
Instructions:
- Park vehicle on a level surface, engage parking brake and place wheel chocks under front wheels.
- Loosen rear wheel lug nuts slightly, lift rear of vehicle with floor jack and support securely on jack stands. Remove the rear wheel for better access.
- Locate the rear sway bar end link (right or left side) connecting the sway bar to the suspension control arm or strut.
- Apply penetrating oil to the mounting nuts and bolts if they appear rusted; allow a few minutes to soak.
- Use appropriate sockets/wrenches to remove the nut(s) securing the link to the sway bar and suspension. Hold the stud with a wrench if it spins.
- Remove the old link assembly. Compare new link to old to confirm orientation and length.
