so here you can see the broken sway bar link fifth in a hole down here it's my finger come up through there so it's a missing piece to it here this is actually a rubber grommet so there's the actual actual shaft here it snapped right off and both sides are the same you can see here I get on the nut on top and it just turns so we need to tear that apart you know get a replacement part in there we play a kit for replacing this and then reattach it to the lower control arm steering control arm okay so let's see if we can get this top nut off fourteen millimeter deep well breaker bar holding the rest of it with a channel lock pliers let's see if we can break something here so I have some penetrance on here a while up here do the trick let's get loosened up a little me go away this cars gonna get the get a new brake hose so I'm not to conserve the brake overhaul on next well you get the idea it's coming off now case we're pulling this apart now I get the nut off there's the top and see how these fit together around this eyelet on the sway bar so this one goes here and washer another washer down there seems all bent too and whatever force broke it bent it up pretty good I'm going to put them back in their respective the way they go back together so that I can get a replacement here make sense out of it and there it is top and the piece is missing on the bottom must have been at least this long with a knot on the end or bolt on the head on the end of it here's the parts and pieces of our bar link which is basically just a bolt a long bolt first of all a washer goes down and a rubber bushing with a little part on top little raised Ridge on top and another one and a little slider another washer in this orientation another bushing and another pair and then the nut so that's the way it's all that's the way it all goes together what you need to do is to raise up the ball joint on this side in order in order to well reduce the gap here between the sway bar and the steering knuckle where it's going to fit in so now we'll disassemble our parts one more time see if we get this thing in here it's really for starters taking it to the bottom first we've got our washer nut now we're going to put another bushing in there holding it down like that I look like I can go in the last part that goes on the bottom it's another bushing at this point we've got to get it through and might have it up a little too high here tick okay we lured the vehicle to slightly let's not get this through and then our final bushing is in place and then not now that we have that all in there we can take the lower this again okay so I've done the same basic procedure on this side I've got the jack under the ball joint lifted up some now that brings us parts closer together and then just get on them and start work I just kind of back and forth now you can take the jack up now that we've got them started and get them both torqued up to the specs okay so we're continuing it to work this down when you start getting it pretty good and tight get out a torque wrench 15 foot-pounds not a lot of torque on this not on a sway bar link I'll check it now I think we're about there yep that should do it right there 15 you you
