2010 RAV4 | Stuck Caliper Slide Pin | Front Pads, Sway Bar Links, & Bushings | Jenkins Performance

In this long form video, I walk you through brake pad replacement, front sway bar links, and bushings. Good step by step instructions for the repair. That's the easy part. I encounter more than one obstacle on this job, and I solve the puzzles in real time! Badly stuck caliper slide pins always present a challenge. Sometimes they require more than one method to free. I keep escalating the applied force and switching techniques until I find something that works. Then I walk you through the process of getting one back moving, at least until you can source a proper replacement. Fun in the sun, all hand tools. I even leave in the mistakes on this one. Why not show folks what its REALLY like working from the dirt?

I had a premature failure using those Mevotech sway bar links.I actually heard banging on the highway,pulled over and found the bar fully separated from the link.The ball pulled right out.
Maybe 28,000 miles.
Never again,I use oem for most parts now.
Had a tie rod fail early too
