sway bar end link installation

[tcbradbury98]

I am replacing my sway bar end links. Anyone done this and had trouble fitting the new link on? I can't get any more room out of the lower control arm. Thanks

is it on a jackstand?? with the suspension hanging,??

if it is try putting it down far enough to get the link

Easiest way to change them is have the vehicle on all 4 wheels on level ground (or put the jackstands under the control arms to keep the suspension loaded). That way the bar is in it's most relaxed position.

I don't understand. With the end links off, you can rotate the sway bar up and down by hand. If you already have one connected, and can't squeeze the other side in, loose then other end first and rotate the bar up.

im assuming you cant get the bottom in, i had someone lift on the front wheel well and that gave me the room to get it in the arm.

I got it on, just had to pry a little harder to get the sway bar up, thanks again.
