Rear Sway Bar Link Replacement


Recommended Posts

Hey guys,

I am new to this forum but plan to contribute as much as possible. I own a '95 sc400 with 150k miles, Injen intake and grounding kit. This topic I am discussing how to replace the rear sway bar links.

Difficulty of Job- Beginner/intermediate

*Recommended tools/setup

-Socket wrench w/14mm socket

-Channel lock wrench

-Jack and jack stands

-beer

-crowbar

Step 1. Jack the car up either on just one side or both.

Step 2. Use the 14mm socket wrench to loosen the nuts on the link.

Step 3. Use the crowbar to depress your swaybar, this will help you remove the link.

Step 4. Depress the swaybar and put in the new link, continue to depress the swaybar while you tighten the nuts so you dont rune the links thread.

Step 5. Drink your beer because yea its just that easy.

* Not sure what the specs are for how much torque on the link nuts, I tightened them pretty hard but didnt over do it.
