Steps
Remove the rear wheel
Remove the hub cap and loosen the lug nuts while the vehicle is on the ground. Raise and support the rear securely, remove the wheel nuts, and take off the wheel.
Remove the old sway bar link
Apply penetrant if the nuts are corroded. Counterhold the upper joint with locking pliers while loosening its nut, then repeat at the lower joint and withdraw the link.
Install and tighten the new link
Position the new link between the sway bar and suspension arm and start both nuts by hand. Counterhold each joint while tightening the nuts to the vehicle's specification.
Reinstall the wheel
Refit the wheel and hand-start the lug nuts. Lower the vehicle, torque the nuts in a star pattern to specification, and verify both link joints remain seated.
Check your vehicle’s repair manual for exact specifications and fit.
