The prybar and block of wood are unnecessary if you disconnect the top mounts of the links on both sides of the vehicle first. Then, the sway bar moves freely full range of motion up and down on both sides. During installation, install the bottom mounts of the links on both sides before reinstalling the top mounts. No prying or wooden block is needed.
I installed these on my 08 escape and drove around now the stabilizer link on the right side is popping? I just tightened them with a ratchet. Could they not be tight enough?
Apparently the sway bar bushings themselves get worn and loose. When the car is jacked up and suspension hanging, the joints tighten, so they get overlooked.

How about sway bar bushings?

+Jay A Thanks for watching! That could be possible so you will want to inspect them to insure that is the case.
