How To Replace Sway Bar Link 96-07 Chrysler Voyager

Difficulty: Intermediate · About 50 min · Chrysler Voyager

Replace a front stabilizer link on a 1996–2007 Chrysler Voyager and tighten the wheel hardware to the vehicle specification.

Steps

1. Lift and remove the wheel

   Loosen the wheel nuts slightly while grounded, chock the opposite wheels, raise the vehicle at approved points, and support it securely. Remove the wheel and inspect the link fasteners for corrosion.

2. Remove the old stabilizer link

   Apply penetrant to the link fasteners and allow it to work. Hold the stud with the correct hex key while loosening the nut, then repeat at the opposite end and remove the link; use controlled cutting only if the fastener is seized and surrounding parts are shielded.

3. Install the replacement link

   Position the new link between its mounts and start both lock nuts by hand. Hold the studs against rotation and tighten the fasteners to the vehicle specification, ensuring the joint boots are not twisted.

4. Reinstall the wheel and inspect

   Refit the wheel and hand-start all nuts, lower the vehicle, then tighten in a star pattern to the vehicle specification. Check for clearance and listen for suspension noise during a cautious test drive.

Check your vehicle’s repair manual for exact specifications and fit.
