Cole Magee they do, his videos gave me the confidence to change my brakes and rotors and I did them successfully. Now, I'm gonna do sway bar links, tie rods, and control arms. I've watched other videos and didn't know about the Allen wrench part of the sway bar links. Gonna check and see if mine have that.

@lucianonarno1408 7 лет назад

Hey, Chris. A tip for you when you need to replace this kind of end links again. I'm a bicycle mechanic and some wrenches called "cone wrenches" would fit that hidden nut to prevent the bolt from turning on the new link very well. These wrenches are very thin, and come in all sizes. Look for them "cone wrenches" for bicycles. Park Tools makes very nice ones as well as Pedro's. Let me know if you see this. :)

+Texas Chevy, I cannot reply to your comment for some reason so I hope you see this. I am just starting to use Mevotech parts because I am trying to find a reliable part manufacturer. They looked really well made, fit great, have the grease fittings, had good locking bolts, and look great. I just went offroad with the truck the other day because I wanted to go snorkeling and the parts worked great. Hosed them off after getting sand and mud all over them, greased them up and they work perfect. I use to have rattling in the front end, and now it is gone. Now I have it in the rear only so I will get those end links replaced. And when I do, I will go with Mevotech again!

@undertake782 8 лет назад

Just a question, how are the Mevotech's after two years? I need to buy some sway bar links for my 2011 Ford Explorer and your video is convincing me to go Mevotech instead of OEM and Moog. I saw another video where the Mevotechs were failing early and making noise after 2 days. Also, what type of grease do I use? Should I use silicone grease or something to protect the rubber or should I use regular lithium grease? Also, do both wheels need to be off the ground to change them? Where did you buy yours?

@undertake782 8 лет назад

One last question, do I need to constantly grease them?

@gfdfperte4248 7 лет назад

On a Regular Basis, They wear very fast. Use a good, no a VERY GOOD High Pressure Grease.

ChrisFix .. How to tell if your sway bar end links are going bad? Your videos were very thorough in the past but anymore :-(

@philipdesousa4086 7 лет назад

ChrisFix what line of mevotech are you using? I have reason to believe only one of their lines use the grease fittings, while the other lines do not. I want to ensure that I order the mevotech line that uses these grease fittings. Any response would be appreciated thanks in advance.

Chris? You just saved my day! I was working on my 4Runner and could not get the bottom swaybar bolt to loosen. A friend mentioned over the phone about checking for a Alan Wrench fitting on the end... but I thought the back side. So I was stuck with a spinning ball joint and about to pull out my Oxy torch and just burn it off... When I thought "Hmmm, I know this video is not for my car but the links have a similar design on the bottom and Chris Fix always does a right to the point, clear video so just watch it" and then Voila! You showed me how to loosen that bottom nut! Thanks so much for making your videos!

The only real provlrm(s) I ran into were 95 degrees (fat old man like me was sweating good) and additionally next thing I knew I was cleaning the wheels (insides never cleaned$ not only on the front wheels though clods the same on the rears. With three kids in sports this cost me $22.75 vs dealer was several hundred. Please keep up the videos for rookies like me.

Glad to see you went with the Mevotech, very underrated or unknown brand from Canada IMO. I went with them over the Moog on my 04 F150 @100,000 miles, still on original links. Could not be happier with the front end improvement on side to side play. While I had them off I replaced the sway bar bushings as well, that bar is heavier then it looks! Nice work Mr. Fix!

@byronwolters2363 8 лет назад

Good video! I sure referenced it a lot before and during my attempt on a 2004 Chev Trailblazer. My vehicle though, required a 19mm wrench (for the inner wrench flats on the link) and a 21mm socket (for the outer nuts), both on taking off the worn factory end links and to put on new Moog units. Neither the old, nor the new end links had holes for a Torx or Allen wrench at the stud ends. The Moog parts come with two washers per unit and I found out the hard way - do not put a washer on the stud mounting on the link side (inside) of the sway bar - only the control arm end! Otherwise, you end up with a knocking / clunking noise far worse than the rattling from the worn end link! Once I took off that one washer, everything seems fine. I don't know (neither did the parts person) why Moog would include two washers if you're not supposed to use them both (an extra?). Really, a proper fitting parts diagram / schematic and instructions should be included with a part, but then we wouldn't need to watch these good videos! (I know - it's a RU-vid conspiracy - LOL!!) Definitely a must (as shown in this video), is thread locker on the studs and nuts! Ratcheting wrenches are certainly worthwhile to have for this job and the fairly tight spaces to work in (which I didn't have on hand). I have to look at doing the rear sway bar end links now as I'd bet they should be done too after doing the fronts. I'm much more confident in trying this type of repair out. Thanks again for your assistance! Cheers!

@chrisfix 8 лет назад

+Byron Wolters Thanks and thanks for sharing your experience! I am glad you got it all figured out and nice work!

@byronwolters2363 8 лет назад

+Byron Wolters Just as an addendum to this procedure that I had experience with - I had to remove even the two washers on the control arms, as they too started to cause a clanking sound at every bump. No one seems to know why. Also, as I had removed and reinstalled the lock nuts so many times by this point, the locking "teeth" were worn down enough that even with thread lock, the nuts would loosen, even though I had allowed the thread lock to cure for a good hour before driving. I ended up getting some metric "Nylock" style lock nuts as a replacement to the toothed style which came with the new links (I even put thread lock on for good measure). What a difference! I've not had an issue since doing that. I notice a lot of replacement link kits seem to do without washers and have the nylon style lock nuts. Funnily though, here in Canada, I had a bit of a problem finding the proper sized metric locking nuts, I had to go to three different specialty fastener dealers, before I found the right size! Luckily, they were all located fairly close together - one would recommend another and so on. Yet Canada is supposed to be metric and so would think there wouldn't be a problem! It all worked out in the end, so it was a good learning experience.

@ScubaCat3 9 лет назад

Nice video! I like the demonstration of what a failed end link looks like. It's a good idea to make sure these are tight before tackling struts or other more expensive repairs. I'm surprised I've never read anyone else do this, but I discovered a little "trick" doing it on our minivan. If you take off the easier-access nut on both ends first, you can then swing the bar around and get better access to the back ones. Granted, the bar will now swing freely but usually you can brace the support wrench (or allen key in this case) and hold everything still in a much easier position to remove that nut. This may or may not work in every application but it's something I'd certainly try if I had to do them again. Good call on the ratcheting wrenches, too. I grabbed a set of gear wrenches on a Woot deal a few years ago and am shocked at how convenient and useful they are.

@chrisfix 9 лет назад

MikeTheITGuy Thanks for the tip Mike! That is a good idea with loosening the easier to access bolt first and moving the stabilizer bar out of the way for more access!

@nicholasjones7774 11 месяцев назад

as a diy mechanic; the only thing i would add to just about all your videos; when you say things like “dont worry about the rubber; you are removing it anyway” - what if you are not removing it anyway? or when you describe the torx/alen key spot on the bolt - what happens when that strips? or if you dont have vice grips that can get in that narrow slot? You can use a normal set of vice grips and clamo the sleeve tight. when people are DIY mechanics, and working on rusty cars things dont go the way they do in your videos and it can be disheartening. its awesome you show how easy the task is; but at least prepare people for the grim reality of fighting with bolts. also, you talk about thread locker, but you never use anti seize; which for someone who works on their own cars is the elixer of the gods. i love your videos which is why i take the time to write this

Ratcheting torx bits work if you don't have a wrench with ratcheting feature ...

I remember doing this kind of work when I was in the Army even though I was a 13B.

My Lexus ES 350 passenger end links need replacing so I'm going to try them myself !

I've been watching your videos for over a year. I've saved thousands on maintenance! Thank you! I am thinking of replacing my front end links as well. What kind of symptoms would the car emit if the endlinks are worn? The left endlink is fine but the right one I can easily twist with two fingers.

+Romulo Rodriguez the end links will begin to click over bumps when they are bad.

I had a the issue on my Genesis coupe. Ordered the sway bar end links and sway bar bushings from MOOG. Changed it on both sides, the noise went away and the car drives better than ever.
