This was the best tutorial I could find on KZfaq. It helped my job to go easier than I thought it would. I found that a 1 1/2" galvanized pipe cap (about $7 at Home Depot) fits over the bushings perfectly and give you something solid to hammer on. That combined with putting the bushings and the freezer for an hour or so allowed me to get each of them completely seated in about 30 seconds. I cut the rubber out of the old bushings. It seemed like that made the metal part of the bushing easier to remove.

It’s good that you’re tapping it around the edges and not smacking the center! 👌🏽

Nice video, simple, good audio, good camera angles and lighting. Exactly what people will want when they come searching.

not saying you wrong and that dose work. ther is a peace of flat bar with holes in it that's a puller helps get those out and in.mines old and I chalk it with wood. secondly and most importantly. " try freezing that bushing before install", just in the freezer in your fridge at home. Don't use dry ice directly could take from the bushings life time.

Just did the same job in my driveway, cleaned out all the rubber and cut the race with a Sawzall twice front to back and it popped right out. I also took front tires off and came at it from the side. Your video was like turning the lights on,thanks!

I have the same problem with my Ford van, this saved me a lot of time thank you so much

Oh so good! Thanks so. I now got the clue to why my newly acquired bus sways. Thanks buddy!!

the best tutorial I could find on this hands down. i replaced with polyurethane bushings using a bolt and washers from lowes, but I would not have attempted the job without your help. great video!!!

This will make my day I have to change the sway bar bushing for a 98 e150 van thanks for the video ✌️✌️

Thank you Sir! I am a sole proprietor and depend on my 2005 E150 for field type electronics service. You're video is a God send.

Thanks for this! After watching your video I did this today on my 98 E250. I cut the rubber out first and the bushing seemed to fold up easier and came out without too much trouble.

Very helpful! Thanks for the video.

Nicely completed. You had fun referencing backdoor and lubing rubbers.

Great video. Exactly what I was looking for and you’re a good teacher. Thanks! 👍

Thank you

Sway cool!

Thank you very much for your great work!

Awesome explanation 👏 Thank you bro God bless you 🙏

Thanks ozzstar, this vídeo help me to change the bushing On the sway bar of My Ford Econoline 350 1999, salutes from Navojoa sonora, Mexico

I did this job on my 2000 e350 back in 2006 or so. I used a heavy piece of angle iron with a hole bored in the bend, all thread, big washers and nuts. At the time, I did it with a 1/2 inch ratchet but would recommend an impact gun. It pressed in and out flawlessly albeit exhaustingly slow with the tools I had available at the time. I still have the angle iron in my toolbox JIC!

Nice video, thanks!

Always entertaining, Glen!! Great job!!

I changed rims from stock to les swab specials and the offset helped a lot on sway

This is awesome! Thanks!

Your a good teacher brother. Blessings

Very Helpful! Thanks!

You made my life a lot more enjoyable . Thanks for sharing your expertise knowledge as I'm all set to attack thee impossible ! 🤠

Nice job Glen, will make a big difference.

Congratulations 10K! And thanks for the great tip! Lube it up before you put it in!😉

Thanks for video, I am going to replace these on my van as soon as the parts arrive from RockAuto!!!

Dude you’re the man. Excellent video helped me big time, links and everything! This kind of stuff will be monetized better in the future bc you deserve more than 99%of the filth on here. Keep it up🤘

Just got a 2005 econoline and driver side sway bushing can see light through. Hopefully that helps solve the wandering. Thanks for the video and wish me luck on the repair!

Thanks for the video I think I will do this on my E-150 tomorrow Whenever you are driving on the highway at high speed and for some reason you have to stop hard, the van moves terrible bad from one side to the other

thanks again

THANKS FOR THE INFO 🙏🙏🙏

Great video thanks brother. Looks like time for a new air hammer. Great job on the bushings and congrats on the 10k. Keep up the great work see you in the next video thanks again brother

Thanks for the video and information. Since this is just for me, not a customer, I'm going to try jamming a piece of rubber in the oblong hole to make it round.

Great video!!!

Good one Glen congratulations on 10000 subscribers !!

Great video brother!

Thanks for your video, exactly what I was looking for. 🤘😝

Thanks your video

Just had my 2005-E250 truck in for state inspection- failed for a bad sway bar end bushing. Wanted about 180 for the work. I have compressor and many air tools (incl air hammer) and mostly do all my own auto work. Bought 2 bushings from local auto supply shop for 19.00 although only one is bad- thanks for the video as I will be replacing them shortly! So, my labor, pleasure to know it will be done right and a major cost savings! Thanks again!

I have that harbor freight ratchet also love it works amazing

Good video !

Great video bro

Whoa... congrats bud! 10K!! Wooohooo.

All kinds of humorous references. Nice job pal

I have replaced those bushings and now you can go at 80 miles or more and brake hard and stays extremely stable 😎👍🏼 Now I need to replace the sock absorbers and I think this problem will be resolved 100%

Great Video thanks for saving me some money !!!

Appreciate the video brother. It's just a shame that I'm just now seeing this video because the past 2 days I've been fighting my bushing but I finally got it in after going to buy some galvanized pipe. And yes it is amazing the difference that the van handles now it's almost like I got a front end alignment and new tires, the works LOL anyway I just want to say thank you for the video

Just the tip and plenty of lube. Great advice 😃 congrats on the 10k

Dang, this is awesome how to video! Its like having my dad next to me and telling me what to do...without the yelling and screaming!

For those attempting this, I found the loaner ball joint press tool from AutoZone makes this press in and out pretty easily with an old air gun, though also doable with a ratchet. I also used an old bearing race that almost matched the OD to get old bushing out.

Well done, Glenn. Not sure if i remember but i think too much lube is used. The last of the great Ford vans. Congrats on 10 k subs. You deserve many more than that.

it looked good even using that punch glenn get a new air hammer!

Great job Glen and as you said there’s more than one way to skin a cat. Congrats on getting 10K subs! 😀👍

This is exactly what's wrong with my Ford E-250 06 model. I was washing the van yesterday and noticed the passenger side sway bar bushing wasn't even in the hole at all. So I don't have air tools but its gotta be done fast before I leave for work tomorrow.

I know I've already said it but congratulations on the 10k

I did a set today. From the rear of the bushing once rubber removed I took a fairly Long chisel and caved in one edge of the bushing then once there was enough material folded inward I just set the chisel on that ledge of material and drive out the bushing very quickly. I did spray some PB blaster before hand. Going back in with the bushing I was able to use a ball joint press cup adapter that perfectly fit around the rubber of the bushing and into the ledge of the cup ….took about 20 seconds to pound the bushing in. I also did the radius arm bushings, new coil springs and shocks. The hardest part of the job was tightening the top nut on the new drivers side shock…..very limited space. I used the original nut and washer from the original shock and held that top nut with a 15mm flex head ratcheting wrench. I turned the shock with a 16mm open end wrench but had to grind the wrench thin on my bench grinder to be able to fit on the embossed hex nut on top of the upper shock dome.

Great Video, Thanks. I think I'm convinced now to go after-market Sway bar like a Hellwig. The bushing design seems poor and does not seem to last long enough, my E450 are worn out at 50kmiles. Also looks like a tough job and a lot of work for a old man with bad shoulders. maybe some poly bushing could be better if they make them.

You're a beautiful man don't let anybody else tell you otherwise. I have an e150 in need of this

Good video Glen. Get a better air hammer. Nice to meet you at Kirkwood highway cruise. Conrad

How is the bottom of that spring mount ? It looks sort of loose

10K - Nice! Congrats Glen.

Well done Glen . Imagine back in the day they were an option .😅😅

really excellent channel! how'd you get the tie rod end out of the way? did you have to completely remove it?

Hi. It all makes sense with one exception. Compared to my E-350, I'm wondering how you got any space to work on the _back_ _side_ of the main (round) sway bar bushings? I plan to use a ball joint press, but when I looked on the back side, some other structural component is so close to the bushing that I don't even think I can get the press in the crack. No way I could hammer it out because I couldn't even hit it. Did you remove something else from the back side to give you room to work before taking out the bushing?

Congrats on the big One-O! Lots of one liners lol 😆 good work Glen 💪

👍👍

Do you have any suggestions on removing the radiator support bushings for a 2002 ford e350 xlt? Can’t find any info. Are these bushings position 1 for part replacement?

I need to change these out on my E-350 and I was thinking, would it be possible to configure a ball joint press to get these in and out? Seems like it would work..

You know any tricks on changing glow plugs on an 2006 E350 6.0 turbo diesel. There in a tight spot.

Great video!! What do you guys think about cutting the old bushing in four quadrants with a sawsall and chiseling it the rest of the way out?

I have 08 E250 Van - it does not have any bushing in those holes. The sway bar is connected to link pins on each side - is this updated design or what?

Hi. I love your videos. I have a 2013 ford e450 that I want to replace some suspension pats. What company do you recommend?

I have a e350 1990 and it sways and want to fix it it has a over cab box with lift gate low miles

Is there any way to do this without an air chisel? I've read in comments you can make some cuts with a sawzall and it "comes right out" does that mean without a chisel? Also is it possible to do without removing the tie rod? Thanks anyone.

Awesome vid. We just purchased a 1992 Ford van conversion. The front end is a but sketchy and wobbly will this fix it . Thx much.

Off the topic but I have a 2007 ford E150 cargo van and my front tires lean in how can I adjust it. Camber

Alright!... Now i just need to save up for some air tools and a resevoir.

I service a lot of fedex trucks and I’ve replaced a lot of those next time just put the hammer on one side and bend it towards the center and then drive it straight out from the back

Best way to remove them bushings. Put a 38mm sockets in front. So the bushing can clear the inside. Then use a seal driver adapter on the back. That is just a little bigger. Then put a bolt and nut through them. Then tighten.. They press right out..

I have a 98 E-150 V6 "Commercial". My van doesn't look like it came with a sway bar. Can anyone confirm? Getting ready to do ball joints, tie rod ends, rotors and breaks. Was thinking about doing this while I have everything torn apart. Thanks!

I'm trying this now and don't know how your sway bar came out so easily. Do you have the van jacked up or anything? My driver's side won't come out. It keeps hitting the tie rod

what is the part numbers or where did you pick them up

Big nasty would have made short work of that bushing! Any Corvette videos coming up? Almost winterizing time. Ugh.

Hey Ozz I have a 1997 E 250 van my bracket that holds my shocks on in the rear cracked. Where can I buy one of them, and or do you have a video on how you replace it? It doesn’t seem that hard. Just have to un install the shocks. Thanks Brother! Your videos are great!

are the rubber ones just easier to work w/? i got the polyurethane bushings, and i can't push the bar ends in to them to save my life. i can't even beat them in w/ a sledge. they fit fine before i squished them in to the frame.

What aftermarket sway bar should i get for a 1992 Ford falcon Class B RV ? The stock one is too small

What exactly does the van wonder about as it is wondering?

Or get a large C clamp a block of wood and a hole saw for your drill and build you a jig

what is the part number for that bushing, i have a 2004 e350 xlt with a twin beam suspension

Good job. Would a ball joint C clamp puller/press would have worked to press this in?.. or out?

where is your mechanic shop I want to do that in my Ford van

We all like beating on the flange lol

What tools are used? Where can I buy it?

How many miles did you get on those bushings before they became egg shape?

Wouldn't a bushing sleeve press removal tool make it easier? Van will wander when swaybar bushings are worn?

Thanks a bunch for the video now I can save some money and get my hands dirty while knowing I'm not fucking something up or wondering if I did it right in the first place...... long story short your the man👌👌👌👌
