  • A video on how to remove the front Sway bar on my 1996 Ford E-350 van. My Sway bar and bushings were in bad shape and needed to be fixed. Along with the sway bar hold-down bushings, I also replaced the sway bar insert bushings on the Front I beams. These ones were the hardest to replace but I share some tips on how to easily do it. It sure is nice having the front end feel nice and tight again and the sway bar isn't smacking the front spring. I hope this video was helpful and thanks for watching!
    This is where I got My complete Sway bar bushing kit: www.rockauto.com/
    My Sway bar is 25.4mm (yours may be different so be sure to measure)
    The part number I used:
    DORMAN 928562
    (I have no affiliation with Rock Auto, they just have a great diverse catalog, some stuff they sell is cheap garbage, and some stuff is high quality, many times the same part is far cheaper than the box stores but you do have to pay for shipping)

      Haha negative celsius, bushings would probably been easier to insert in warm weather. Thanks!

      You bet! yeah pretty easy, hardest part was bushings on the sway bar, drove so much nicer after this, still need to do the rest of the front end once the weather warms back up

      no problem! always sucks when it's a pain but better tight than loose. the ratchet strap worked like a charm

    Hi, are you planning to replace the body mounts bushings? I can’t find anything online and this would be super helpful, thanks

    • @4WheelKid
      @4WheelKid  7 місяців тому +1

      I didn’t replace all of mine just the front 2 but could have replaced all, I removed all bolts cleaned and painted around where the mounts go, I did 1 side at a time, it was pretty easy, I have a whole video filmed on it but haven’t editing it yet

      @4WheelKid  5 місяців тому

      I believe those are called the radius arms. there are so many type of suspension setups hard to know them all, I'm just learning this one. will be overhauling the entire front end this summer

    I think you're supposed to reuse the metal sleeve in the front I beam and just pop in the new bushings into the original metal sleeve..

    • @4WheelKid
      @4WheelKid  15 днів тому

      No its a different design the rubber is bonded to the sleave. You can buy new rubber ones with the metal sleaves or polyurethane bushings. That replaces the sleeve and rubber all together like the ones Installed. Dont think thats correct? You should try it and let me know how that goes
