Late to the party here but very good and informative video. The video angles and clarity were excellent! I want to try this myself but I'm not quite sure. But thanks again for such a thorough video and explanation of each step!!
Hey ATIII, what vehicle diid you put on plz? I have a 2004 Chevy Silverado 1500 RWD 5.3L EXTD CAB that I’m trying to do the same repair on, so I’m just trying to make sure I get the right size bushings??? I ordered a set before from As I ordered 1st set & my front bar was was bigger than bushings sent??? GM said bc i have tow pkg on my trk??? Thanks for the help looking for the response!!! Cheers!
If someone rented lifts I would use one but your video shows me it can be done from the ground. Thanks. From what I've seen some penetrating oil would be handy.
I just replaced the links on my '08 Silverado. One thing that was troublesome is the bolt/nut on the replacement wasn't the same size as the stock ones. I struggled with the driver's side. I hit the passenger side with WD40 before I started and it was much easier. Seeing how easy the bushing replacement was, I'll probably do it next.
word of caution measure your sway bar I purchased a set that said it fit my 08 Silverado but the body bushings were 36 MM ID my bar is 33 mm OD and the body clamps DONT tighten up the bushings with that much room had to buy a set of 34 mm body bushings. of course I learned that After I had greased up the body bushings making them non returnable. Thank goodness my old body bushings were not that bad so I was able to put them back with the new end bar links till the new body bushings came in.
Is Moog or AC Delcos professional line best for the end links. The Delco bushings look thicker but the moogs look like they go on easier with the top nut being part of the length.
hey, I recently got an alignment on my 07 classic Chevy Silverado 1500 this was after I replace inner and outer tie rods on both sides. my toe was off bad (outter). the alignment helped a lot but around like 4sec of no hands the truck drifts to the right.. is that due to tire ware I know on the right side the tire is about 40 % and on the left, it's less or is it just a bad alignment done?
I'm about to replace mine as well. But I'm thinking leave everything loose then tighten at the end? Should I jack up/ jack stand, remove the tire and have the suspension loose? If there is a real mechanic please advise the correct steps if it matters. Also how many beverage job should this be rated at?
Basically, the instructions say to do the final tightening of the sway bar links with the vehicle at "curb height". Which just means sitting with all the tires on the ground, on a flat surface, at normal ride height. So you can get them started with it jacked up a little and the wheel off if it's easier, but you want to tighten it all up with it back on the ground.
What does this do for the truck and how does it feel when they are bad? Just purchased this truck, everything is rusted due to it being from up North. Going to have to change everything one by one ...do you still have the truck??? All your videos have came in handy . Thanks !!
My AC Delco bushings for 2002 Yukon are SUPER stiff. Not sure i’ll be able to open them up around the stab bar. You just popped one open with one hand. Not sure why there is such a significant difference.
Did you have a hard time with the bushing mounts with the bolts? The bolts on my 08 Tahoe are frozen plan on getting some pb blaster and spraying them for 2 days and trying again.
Don't need locktite, I use white lithium grease on the bolt and inside the bushings. Torque is 17 ft. lbs. on the end links and 37 ft. lbs. on the bushings.
