Never over grease a bushing when you see the grease squeezing out. That means you broke the seal so your introducing the element your trying to prevent. The little nut fitting is called an Alemite

About the most simple and most helpful video I have seen, thanks man.

Great video. Even showed the grease fitting that few other videos show. I subscribed because you show everything and are complete. Well done.

Video was great, I just changed my links this afternoon and it totally changed the handling of my 2007 F150. I had to add grease as you mentioned; that was no issue though. The one thing I would mention is to install both new links, before tightening either side. My experience was that by tightening one side before the other, the tension on the sway bar would not allow enough give to install the opposite link; once I loosened the other link; they both went in with no problem. I purchased the heavy duty links even though I only use my truck for casual use. I am happy to say I did this job without putting out a ton of cash to a shop; just parts and sweat equity.

Great job Josh. Keep the videos coming buddy.

Thank you....... you did a nice job with the narration instructions. Will make my replacement easy!!! Good day Sir!

You can generate more force (&control) by lifting up on the extension bar and use your legs.

I drove my truck up on ramps ..took both off and put both on at the same time..took my large pair of vice grips put them on the sway bar and moved it that way..took about 30 minutes.. The new ones do have grease fittings..the rubber bushings were all that was wrong with them...ford using recycled rubber..again..see you on the next one Cheers 🍻🍻🍻🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Excellent tutorial. Thank you very much.👍👍💯💯💯

Really liked the video

To ensure proper tightening of your nuts, you probably should of torqued your bolts down to proper torque specs...89 ft lbs on top and 66 ft lbs on the bottom. Great video by the way. Also, I use a Milwaukee M18 fuel cordless 1/2 impact to remove lug nuts...makes it fast and easy.

What kind of grease do you put into the sway bar links

Notice a reduction in bump steer after replacement?

Tore my cv boot doing struts. A lot of guys remove that lower strut bolt in order to wiggle the old cv axle out and the new one in. Looking at this, with the sway bar link out, it looked like there would be clearance to get the axle out and new one in. Would you agree or am I missing something?

So I replaced my links as well on my 06. My question is these new links that bought had like a squishy feel to them like nylon compared to the rubber old ones I had on before. Did I get the wrong ones or are these better? They are MOOG brand.

I used same procedure . But used air tools.. great info...

you can cut the bolts with grinder some of them rust

Thanks for taking the time to record & upload this vid. I have an 09 F150 XLT, I'm guess it would be the same steps ?

What cause these to wear out so quickly it's the bushings that go out , do they make any with better bushing an where to get them

Would u need to do an aliment or no if your just doing that?

What happens if you don’t grease it? I’m assuming that the grease is to prevent squeaking/long term wear? I don’t have a grease gun. Will it be okay to drive the truck without grease for a few days until I can get a grease gun to grease it up? Also what kind of grease do I use?

💯😎🍻

I'd recommend use use some WD-40 or penetrating out on the the lugs. We call the 12 point sockets the "12 sided touch of death. You risk rounding a lug nut, screw the socket, get a new one. You every tried getting rounded bolt off? A rounded bolt that big? Boy, getya some WD-40 and you hose everything down, slama beer and sip the next one, When you come back, everything just comes off without a fight.

I just replaced my links today and torqued to spec but there is a lot of play between the bushings I would think you shouldn't be able to spin the washers what am I doing wrong?

Noticed mine are either missing or falling apart. What exactly do these bumpers do? Without looking at them, how would one know they are bad?

How much does it usually cost to replace those..

The reason the lug nuts were so tight is because you jacked it up before loosening them. Try it nxt time simple mistake lol

you can't hear him

Thank you for the video. Please use a torque wrench. Don't role model poor technique. 😢

I stopped watching when he stepped on the breaker bar. Best way to mess the whole thing up

Never use a gun to tighten lugs terrible practice even just to snug em. Always hand tighten and the use a breaker bar drop vehicle then torque to spec in crisscross pattern. I've seen time and time again cross threading and snapped studs so unless you are a technician and are comfortable (which I still do not agree with) I DO NOT RECOMMEND a shade tree or diy mechanic tighten any bolt on a vehicle with a gun. Every 5-20 min job is 1 snapped stud away from becoming a 4 or 5 day ordeal.
