I managed to separate the sheets using chisel without drilling the flanges, all without lowering subframe... I also done it on lancia lybra front sway bar this way, without removing anything except the bolts holding the bushings... Brute force is an option, sometimes...

[@alfaromeonoproblem]

Hello. For sure you can do it like that. But this is a customer car and I cannot afford mistakes or something going wrong.

[@zoransunja37]

It's nice to work on cars without rust

[@alfaromeonoproblem]

All like this here in Portugal. No rust no nothing.

On my 1998 156 I have already replaced the bushings twice but the last time I solved the squeaks and wear by simply inserting a 1mm thick sheet of Teflon between the bar and the rubber bushing. Then I applied a little PTFE grease because the bar was oxidized. The work on the rear is simple, unfortunately on the front it is more complicated because you have to lower the chassis

[@alfaromeonoproblem]

Hello. Thanks for watching and for sharing your experience

[@dnbSJ]

Thank you a lot for this video and your job.

[@alfaromeonoproblem]

Thanks for watching

[@MrZelimir77]

Hvala!

[@DashCamSerbia]

You can also use a jack, to jack up the bushing mount (to press the two metals together) and then tighten the screws.

[@alfaromeonoproblem]

Hello. You can, but is a bit overkill. A good amount of lube and a bit of force can do it.

[@DashCamSerbia]

@@alfaromeonoproblem Because of the torque setting on the wrench, I think it would be more accurate that way.

[@djlosmi]

Amazing!

[@Zeghetank]

The front one is the problem. The rear is easy. 😁

[@ivanbasic6001]

Do the front sway bar on 156

[@alfaromeonoproblem]

On its way. It will be during a video for the gearbox and clutch set

[@Salman-sc8gr]

How can the excess camber on front of 166 be fixed?

[@alfaromeonoproblem]

Just like on the 156. Main issue is bad alignment. Must be zero, no toe in or out. Also lowering this cars will create way more camber.
There are also some eccentric bushings to go in on the upper control arms that can now align camber. But always with zero toe

[@MrBenzcdi]

i imagine that if the rubbers have perished, the sway bar performance has decreased too.
i mean, if both front and back sway bar rubbers are gone, the car will lean over more and the body roll will increase too, right?

[@alfaromeonoproblem]

Hello. If it is like this ones, maybe one or two degrees more. Yes

[@MrBenzcdi]

@@alfaromeonoproblem i’ll have it checked Bruno. thanks for the video 👍

[@Yannou_JtD]

do you have a video for replacing the upper and lower arms?

[@alfaromeonoproblem]

Hello. I do, and much more. Check out the playlist for suspension on the description below
