Spiike32 Posted May 21, 2007 Share Posted May 21, 2007 I went to my local firestone the other day because my shocks are bottoming out and needed an oil change. I got the struts replaced for a $900 all 4, but I have a problem. They said the spacer on the sway bar is worn and will rattle. To get this replaced will cost me $350. I was like screw it. I drove to work today, it's like a freaking bird is under my car. A very high pitch rattle/whine after every bump. So my question is: Edit: new question Can you install a sway bar link kit without a hydrolic compressor as firestone claims you need to have? Or can I just have the car lifted and unscrew the current end link and install the new one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toysrme Posted May 22, 2007 Share Posted May 22, 2007 Firestone is full of bull*BLEEP*. The end links require a 14mm wrench & some random size allen wrench. The sway bar bushings (mounts) require a 14mm socket. ^ From what I remember having done mine years back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spiike32 Posted May 22, 2007 Author Share Posted May 22, 2007 Well all fixed. Tools needed were a couple family members to rock the car up and down and I "scientifically" diagnose the problem lying under the car. The high pitch squeek came from a plate that connects to a sensor and goes around the back right lower suspension arm. I dunno what the sensor does (maybe someone here knows) but it was rubbing against the arm making a ear piercing metal to metal squeek. Edited for Liability reasons. I'm going to claim this and have firestone fix my HID sensor that they broke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
