video-sway bar bushing replacement

After reading several threads about replacing the sway bar bushings, I found this repair video.

I hope it goes as easy as it does in the video!

Good find - I'll move this over to the How-To section.

Here are two other related videos for noisy front suspension and hub replacement along with your find:

Great videos for those who are willing to get dirty and change their own parts!

... and save a few $'s at the same time.

None of them are what I would call a difficult repair, as long as one has the appropriate tools available, including proper support for the vehicle to ensure they stay safe.

But the statement that both lengths of swaybar end links will work has me concerned, Donbrew is going to have a word or two about that!

True that - best to stick with the 10" ones as the 12" ones can have interference problems.

"Will work" is accurate. Don't add flawlessly though.

This may be obvious, but if your doing the hub replacement, you can break the axle nut loose by sticking a screw driver in the vent slots on the edge of the rotor. As you turn the axle nut the screw driver will bear against the brake caliper to keep the hub from rotating as you turn the axle nut...in short----Don't pull off the caliper until you loosen the axle nut. (lesson learned while my brain was out of gear)
