    @100thomasmagnum 7 років тому +1

    can you do this without jacking the car up? i was going to just crawl under and do it but I was wondering if that added pressure on the wheels changes the pressure to fit back on that bushing bracket.

    • @05gtdriver
      @05gtdriver 6 років тому

      james liu Yeah, need to remove tension out of sway bar by lifting car in front and placing jackstands. It takes longer to raise car & remove wheels than to change out these two front sway bar bushings. Replace sway bar end links at same time as those wear out faster than front bar bushings. Transforms your Mustang's steering feedback & feel to brand new!

    i jux changed my swaybar bushings because my car was makin nice when i ride over little bumps, but after i put on the new bushings the sway bar still moves side to side. it looks like tge bushing is loose is to big for the bar so it dnt hold it in place. my question is is tha normal??

    • @LilDoggy

      No, take it to a mechanic. Sounds like you've got the wrong bushing.

    The bolt spins with the nut on one my RH bracket making removing the nut a huge pita...
    going to attempt this over the weekend when i have more time and a 2nd set of hands... unless someone has a work around to the spinning bolt?
    Also what are some indications that the sway bar bushing needs to be changed?

    • @LilDoggy
      @LilDoggy  8 років тому

      Is there a way to get behind your bracket with a wrench? I'm not sure how that could happen unless something traumatic happened to it. Put your car on stands, lay under it, and wiggle the sway bar, if it has play in it, it needs to be changed.

    • @sgkukov2285
      @sgkukov2285 8 років тому +1

      +Lil Doggy Thanks. I was able to tighten it by holding a wrench on the bolt and tightening the nut down with the other hand but god dang was it tough. I have some thunks in my suspension... (126k 2010 V6) changed the struts and end links and that helped but im thinking either replacing the bushings or tightening down the brackets some more will help

      @@LilDoggy For some reason just got this notice that you had commented. For anyone with a '10-'14 Mustang, don't change the bushings. Had a squeak, was positive bushings. Cut the tabs off like suggested and bought Moog K201490, which is what was listed where I work for a '12 Mustang. Old bushings glued to sway bar, hacked off, put Moogs on, too small for bar, at buddy's house 2 hours form home so put them on anyway. 1 squeezed 1/2 way out. Ended up down the road getting a new Ford sway bar that comes with bushings pre installed. There are a few different letters with the same part number depending on model; I got one that was supposed to be for Shelby on eBay for my V6 and bolted right in. Incidentally, squeak NOT bushings!
