Tools used
Okay, friends, one of the first things we need to do to start this job is to safely raise and support the vehicle. I like to raise it directly on the frame. Once you have the wheel off the ground, we're going to remove our center cover. That exposes our 19-millimeter lug nuts. Remove them all and then remove the wheel. Okay. So we took the wheel off so we have a nice, clear view of the sway bar link here. You don't necessarily have to, but it makes it easier to see. What you're going to need is a 7-millimeter Allen head. I'm going to come right in here and I'm just going to give it a couple of nice bonks. Now we're going to take our 21-millimeter wrench, put it right over this nut. The next thing we're going to do is use a ratchet or an air gun, whatever you have, put it on here. And when we turn this, we actually want to try to turn it so we're tightening. It's going to sound weird, but essentially we want the ratchet so it's tightening and the wrench so it's turning to the left. We'll break that free and then we'll go like this, and what you'll notice is it starts loosening up. Remove that completely. There we go. Do the same to the top.
Okay. I'll get my tool off of here. There we are, friends. Once you've compared the new sway bar link to your old sway bar link, it's going to be time for the install. You're going to notice your new sway bar link came with some nice new washers. Those washers are going to go on before you install. Slide them right in, and they're going to go up against this nutted area. Start it in the control arm, and then I'll put it in the sway bar. I'm just going to get this bent down. Slide it right in there. Perfect. We've got our two nuts here. Start them both on. Now it's going to be time to tighten these up. To get onto that nut that's on the inside there, use your 17-millimeter wrench. Now I'm going to use a 21-millimeter and I'm going to snug this up. All right. That bottomed out. Do the same to the other one and then we'll torque them down. Now we're going to torque these to 107 foot-pounds.
It's always a great idea to double-check everything that you removed and replaced. Just make sure everything's secure and good to go. Once you've done that, let's go ahead and get the wheel up on here. Bring the vehicle down so the tire is just barely touching the ground, so it can't spin. And then torque the wheels in a criss-cross manner to 103 foot-pounds. Now it's going to be time to get our center cover on here. If you were to turn it around, you might see something that looks a lot like a valve stem. Line it up with your valve stem and then go ahead and pop it on there.

Okay, friends, one of the first things we need to do is safely raise and support the vehicle so your wheel's off the ground. Once you've done that, we're gonna come right here to your center cover, use a nice little pry bar, and go ahead and pop this off. Now that we've done that, we're gonna remove all six of our 19-millimeter lug nuts and take the wheel off.
Now that we have the wheel off of here, we have a nice clear view of our sway bar link. To start removing it, it's important to see the inside center piece right there. That's a little Allen head. I'm gonna show you what tool to use in a second. But, first, what we're gonna do is we're gonna remove or at least loosen this 18-millimeter nut.
A lot of times what happens is as soon as the nut breaks free, the stud in the center starts to spin. That can be a hassle. So we're gonna use a tool that looks like this, this is just a little Allen head key. You're gonna find the size that fits right in there. Okay? Take your wrench, put it right over this. Put the Allen key right in the center, and then we're gonna go ahead and turn the Allen key clockwise, which will in turn, turn the nut counter-clockwise.
You can see that some of the thread locking stuff is coming off. That's pretty common, especially, as the stud heats up. There we are. Now we're gonna do the same to the upper one. There we are friends. Okay, friends, it's time for an install. Just make sure all the angles line up with the original. We're gonna put it through from the outside in, on the top, and then from the inside, out on the bottom. Start on both of your nuts, and then we'll bottom them out and torque them to manufacturer's specifications. Now let's tighten the sway bar link nuts to 74 foot-pounds.
All right let's get the wheel up on here. Start on all your lug nuts, bottom them out, and then we'll torque them to 103 foot-pounds. Let's torque these in a criss-cross manner. Now it's gonna be time to put on your center cover. If you were to look at the back side, you're gonna see something that looks a lot like a valve stem. Line that up with your valve stem, then just give it a nice loving bonk. Make sure it's completely secured. Take it for a road test.
