best thing is that it applies for any make year or model this sway bar bushings job shows how reparing the bushings remains tighter than buying new ones, I have done it for years and have not had any problem, please try it.

I had a friend named Sergio years ago. He was Russian but grew up in Argentina. He was a genius at keeping old cars running by using exactly this sort of no-BS, direct approach. That is the beauty of old vehicles. They are not saddled with computers and electronics that turn them into unrepairable paperweights. You can repair pre-2000 vehicles until they rust out.

letting a vehicle rust out is just stupidity or laziness. So easy to avoid. Spray under and use just a spraycan with a hose with some oil or wax in cavities, preferably a compressor/air tools. Chain oil is cheapest, fluid film or such is best. NO excuse for just letting a car rot.

I was going to say the same thing. Rubber density is a big deal when the load pressure of the vehile leaning squeezes it. A very thin layer of Red&Tacky grease could help keep the bar friction from speeding up the wear. Otherwise, I was impressed with his imagination. I wonder what the repair looks like now that time is coming to the 1st year repair anniversary.

@MrBikedrummer5 ай бұрын
The purpose of those sway bar bushings is to hold the bar so it CAN'T turn at those points. This way, the ends of the bar at the links acts as a spring tensioned lever to assist in giving a more firm and controlled suspension. It loses this torque ability if the bar can turn in the clamp that holds the bushings. I used to grease them, but found out that they perform much better if the clamp is bolted tightly to the frame.

. I work at a parts store and most passenger car and small truck bushing sets are about 18-30$.. So not significantly no.. Some vehicles are impossible to find in store.. Based on the overwhelming shottyness here im betting this truck somehow has a different bar on it and that's why they are illusive for this fella. I did bushings on a stock t100 a year ago and got them at local Napa for 23.99.. It is easy to come by old hose but More importantly rad hose is too soft for most cars and just the wrong kinda rubberl I think hydraulic hose or a piece of tire would be better but anything that isn't positively held in will definitely walk out over time...especially given the oil-leakiness of a t100😂

It's 1am and I've been trying to get the brackets over two new sway bar bushings for several hours now. The new bushings are the correct size but will not close up around the sway bar enough to allow the clamp to seat on the bushing. Some have commented that the only way to install the new bushings is to go buy a longer bolt with the correct thread pattern. You use the long bolt to seat the clamp and bushing onto the sway bar and then you back out the long bolt and reinstall the original bolt. I don't have a long bolt so I am going to use this hose method with the old bushing. Thank you for the alternative to new bushings. Great video!

There are still a few things that can be cobbled up for no cost. Another was the starter on a 1996 Buick Regal I once had. Of course if someone would turn himself in to a dealer or most independant mechanics, the starter would be replaced with a brand new OEM one for hundreds of dollars. But i was lucky. This starter could be unbolted and fixed. The two copper contact posts for the plunger in the solenoid were worn down and not making electrical contact with the plunger. All I had to do was unsolder the lead wires to each contact and rotate each contact 180 °, reattach the braided wires, then smooth down the contact surface of the plunger and the starter was fixed and lasted the rest of the life of the car.

Alot of times when the ball joints, control arm bushings, tie rod bushings, etc are worn out they will put added stress on the sway bar bushings and anything else ……..your tires are usually the telltale sign that you need to rebuild your front end. Chopping inner edge, balding tires especially on edges. Worn coil springs will also need replaced in many cases.

Man you're good. My SUV rocks really hard back and forth when I'm turning. My dashboard panel says: service stabilizer-ride control-tire monitor. Where are you so I can bring my truck to you? I know you're going to hook it up right..👍👍

Ahhh, you bushed the bushing. Smart. There's a joke about that but I won't share due to the high incidence of offence these days.😄 I't'll drive better and quieter. I'd bet it was making noise. Subscribed. Keep sharing.

electrical tape wound around also works but this is quick and the hose material probably pretty durable

When buying cheap replacement parts off ebay isn't good enough. ...seriously, that's a neat way of fixing a problem.

Great video but I do it differently. I losen the the bolt then I find old bushes and I cut it in chopstick shape. I add it in the bush one by one until it is fit enough then I thighten the bolt. Never had any issues since lol

Innovative. Using right used material - may even last longer than the original bush

This is better than the duct tape Red & Green channel would have tried to use. Don't throw old parts into the landfill/garbage, reuse them like JM did.
