A few years back, I borrowed my brother-in-law's '97 Explorer for a few days while my car was in the shop and he was on a business trip. The vehicle drove like a boat and felt very unstable. In addition to the sway bar end links, the shocks and tie-rod ends were also shot. This thing felt dangerous to drive. I bought new end links, tie-rod ends, and a full set of shocks and my nephew and I repaired the truck. I couldn't believe the difference in handling. It drove like a new truck. My bother-in-law was very appreciative as the improvement was drastic. Its decline in handling was so gradual that he didn't realize how bad it had gotten.

No need to take of the tires, turn the tire all the way to one side. Hope this saves some time!

Loved the rant on gravity! It's why loose sockets target the face of mechanics lying on their backs. I blame Einstein.

Omg my f150 is making the same noise , now I finally know where that sound is coming from thank you for making this video 😊

My kit is on order and it will be next week's project. I was just under my 99 F-250 doing an oil change. I'm 76 years old and changing the oil is about the last of the things I can still do. Before I swore my way out from underneath the truck I always bang on things. This time I heard the loose sound of the long bolt There were no bushings at all! On one side even the sleeve is missing? The parts should be here by Monday. The bitch of it all is I know how to do most of these things myself but I can no longer get up or down very well and can no longer stand long enough to do a lot of things. The Golden Years are made of BRASS!!

I'm getting ready to do this. Thanks for the details.

Cool video! I'm gonna replace the front bushings on my 1998 Ford Escort. Again. The last time the auto parts store sold the kit with large flat washers, instead of the cupped ones. The bushings cracked a year after two years.

Great video 🙏

I always put my gloves on after ive got them dirty

Love your vehicle it was easy to watch the content and instructions. What size on the sockets and are they universal.

Under the car lol.. Nice one mate

Have you ever had to replace your third brake light above your back hatch door wiring harness because it melted? I was wondering how to fix mine on my 2000 ford expedition 4.6L V8 Triton XLT. I was told by a auto parts employee that I would have to solder a new one in, whatever that means. Also have you had the metal tube that you insert the tire rod in to crank down the spare tire fall out? Need to find out how to repair that to.😮 As a female that's new to doing my own vehicle repairs, this is new to me. I'm still researching!🤔💅🏼

Do you need to take off tire to do this or can you just turn it to the side?

My sway bars are causing wheel hop. 😕 time to jump under the ol truck.

Torque specs?

So you stop truck from rolling back and lifted the hole front end off the ground😮
