Had a garage mechanic tell me today that my whole front end needed to be replaced and he could do it for $800.00. I decided to wait since I just bought the thing, license and registration was close to $500.00 and tires were pushing $300. I went to change my oil and saw that one side sway bar link was missing and the other so worn out it was loose....less than 20 dollars and I changed them out, it steers good now without the wobble. Thanks for another informative video.

I had a bad "clunk" when I turned or hit small bumps. Turned out I was missing a bushing on each side. I noticed it while doing and oil change. Replaced mine this weekend on my '03 Explorer Sport. Used the same parts. I followed the video and it was really easy. Ran into one problem where I did not have enough threads exposed for the nut. I had someone pull down on the sway bar enough to expose the threads and quickly screwed it on. Great instruction. Subscribed just for this.

But it all worked out.

The facing surfaces of the small bushings where they meet the sway bar need grease also. That's where the real squeaking comes from. Don't use lock-tight on the big bushing mount bolts, use anti seize. Looked like those bolts went into anchored nuts in the frame. if you use lock-tight you increase the likelihood of breaking the anchor nuts loose next time you need them off and, properly torqued, they are not ever going to vibrate loose. I use anti-seize on just about every fastener on the chassis. The problem down there is not that they vibrate loose, the problem is they rust together. Anti-seize is your friend under there. It will NOT induce unintentional loosening of bolts. Use it on lug studs also to get accurate torque. A little goes a long way.

I have to add that in my experience with my Yukon, it is best to install the sway bar links with the wheels on the ground then jack the front end off the ground to tighten. This alleviated any play that I experienced installing and tightening on the ground. I get around 6-8 more full turns and steering is tight no chatter.

@GoodmorningDan I have a pontiac vibe, so it's like a corolla or matrix... The links were not so hard to change, I used a metal saw to cut the rusted bolt and a vice grip to hold the rubber part to remove it. But, I totally aborted the sway bar bushing. I would have to lower the sub frame and a shit load of stuff. And actually I didn't felt too much play... It fixed the shaky steering at 100km/h, and really reduced body rolls. But 6 months later, I think changing the bushings could be a thing to considerate, but I'm really not sure I'll do it myself, and I should probably change lots of things in the suspension in general... so I don't know if it's worth it

My wife's 02 2wd expedition was making a clunking noise. One of the links was completely missing the bushings. This video really helped me and it wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be. Thank you

The Bible says if you confess with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. We're living in the end times. Jesus will be rapturing his church before the 7 years of Tribulation begins. He will come back after the 7 years. If you miss the rapture don't take the mark of the beast, you can't go to heaven if you do. It will be on your right hand or your head. God bless you.

Thank you for your videos Chris! I think almost 50% of the wear & tear parts replaced by myself. It save a lot. I also did a simple comparison test between the workshops and myself. I think I prefer myself as workshop just do to beat against the time and number of cars they attended to.
