Ford Ranger Sway Bar End Link Replacement

Today I replaced the sway (stabilizer) bar end links on an '08 Ford Ranger. The same basic steps will apply to many different makes and models. Faulty end links may cause excessive body roll, or suspension noises. Especially when going over bumps or cornering. In this video, I show you how to replace them and give some tips on how to make the job go easier.

I live in the rust belt. Do they make these things in stainless?

[@jimh.412]

Nice job my man! 👍

[@psj1676]

Are u turning the wheels a certain way? For instance, when working on the drivers side, do u turn the front wheels to the left or right for easier access?

[@reneb.8372]

When I did mine the best way was to have the wheels turned away vs into the truck

[@Brocklanders80085]

Will this mess with the alignment, or just intall and good to go?

[@kainalu9402]

Wont mess with your alignment, just replace and your good.

[@RubenAvila]

[@gavinmarino5224]

My ranger doesn’t have enough room to put the sleeve on with the bushings can someone explain what they did

[@reneb.8372]

Been trying for hours today on my ranger, The problem is my sway bar does not move like yours did. I need to push down on my bar to managed to get the last one to go down far enough for the last bushing, Washer and bolt to fit. Thanks for the video!

[@nedmacallen]

Did you do all this on the ground without a jack? From my TH-cam watching there are a few different ways and If I don’t need a jack im gonna do this in the morning haha. I know I’ll need a jack to do my shocks thanks for the info!

[@NutsandBoltsAuto]

Yes, it was all done on the ground. You can lift the vehicle if you need some extra room

[@kevinwhitehead1111]

The suspension needs to be fully loaded when installing the new links.

[@69BigLou]

Perfect explanation!
