I was able to get the nuts off without a problem. I sprayed them with liquid wrench and they broke loose pretty easy. What I had trouble with was driving out the old end link once the nuts were off. I ended up taking my grinder to it and cut the end link in half.
Another great video, thanks.
I bought some sway bar links for my 2004 Grand Marquis from your company. I got a great deal and the parts are working great. Thanks for all that you do.
+Media Guy Thank you for your order. If you would like to leave us a review on Google it would be greatly appreciated www.resellerratings.com/store/1A_Auto_Parts
I just did mine today...Instead of a 5mm allen wrench it should be a T40 Torx bit....I got frustrated under my GMQ until I finally figured out it wasn`t a 5mm allen wrench....
Great Instruction! Thank you very much! What are the chances of finding not only the exact part, but a great video showing you HOW to do it?!?
Thank you for watching!

Great video! Have creaking issues and trying to narrow the cause down...from bushings to frame support bar etc.
Creaking while turning the wheel can be caused by dried out lower ball joints. Dust boots deteriorate and water washes the grease away. Spray oil on one component at a time and then drive. Creaking goes away, after you spray what part?
@@birdwing98wow this helped me a lot and clicked with me thank you
I have bought parts here. Right part. Quick delivery.
98-02...03-11 will be mostly the same but the orientation of the studs are slightly different... lower stud is horizontal instead of vertical and the upper is angled slightly upward with the upper nut in a recess behind the rotor
They made them both easier and harder to get to when they redesigned the front steering/suspension

Going to do a video on these as well using 1a links. I plug you guys in all my videos for your how to videos and parts. 👍
Thanks for checking us out. 1aauto.com +Adam Crown Victoria Car repair help and tips
I love your videos on this car. When this part is failing what kind of sound does it make? When I turn my wheel all the way to the left and move the car it makes a crunch/rusty hinge sound. Both lower ball joints have been replaced and both uppers have been inspected. Thoughts?
Thank you for watching.These will cause a knocking noise over bumps.

Your awesome thank you for the great videos
+john frandeka Thank you! We love empowering our customers and showing how to perform DIY auto repairs with our high-quality auto parts. 1AAuto.com
The FORD service manual has upper nut at 20-26 ft lbs and lower nut connect to sway bar at 41 ft lbs. Aftermarket might be different(?).
Thanks for this. Can't be too diferent a set up than on my 94 T-bird I suppose. One question; do those zerk fittings need grease right away, even before you drive, or are they fine as is for a time? I am guessing it would be part of the video, easiest done with wheels off, if it had to be done immediatey. thanks again
may sound stupid but does this part cause a creaking or squeeking when you hit bumps?? and would it cause issues when make a hard left hand turn like a grinding noise?? .... the ball joint were already replaced by the car dealer and his mechanic said may be the sway bar link....
thank you for your response!!!!!
What was the response?
Yes it does.
On my 2000 Grand Marq, The hole in the lower control arm, on the driver's side does not line up under the bolt that needs to be removed to disconnect the old sway bar link. Impossible to get a 5 mm Allen wrench under that bolt to hold it while unscrewing the nut. I cut the curved part of my 5mm Allen wrench about half way down to be able get it in while above the lower control arm. Almost feels like it is stripped inside there. Seems like there is no other way to hold it steady to be able to get the nut off. Any suggestions?
Great video
When I try and jack up the control arm I can't get it to compress enough. Tips?
Thanks again guys!
Thank you for watching!

Awesome!
That was pretty easy tbh
Difficulties removing the lower bolt of the SB link
Great vedio !
I know it says 98-11 grams marquis 's and crown victoria' s but is this the same procedure for a 1996 crown victoria? Thanks in advance.
It should be a similar process. Here's a link to the replacement sway bar end links that we carry for your 1996 Crown Victoria. Hope this helps you out. We also offer free shipping on all orders. www.1aauto.com/1996-ford-crown-victoria-sway-bar/y-mo-c/1996-215-149?TH-cam&TH-cam&ATony
Tools will need, you forgot to mention a chisle and a hammer and some penatrating oil
good tip on putting the key back in the glove box lol
I did mine and I could not get it to pull all the way into the hole ( top one ) the nut started too strip before it went all the way in is there a trick too get the rest in ?
What was the solution? I'm having the same problem lol
@@rigatonidanza did you jack up the lower control arm/suspension to preload it a bit like in the vid?
after doing this I have creaking, Is it possible I over torked the bottom nut ?
+Gino Boomino Yeah, it is. Could also be that in doing this repair you loosened up some other components that need replacing. Did you inspect everything else down there before putting the wheel back on?
I am 99% its a lower ball joint , I sprayed white lithium grease in the torn bushings and that helped a lot. Another job for a different day. Thanks for your help your videos are awesome :).
Wow none of the pieces in my 1a auto kit came with zerk fittings 🤷♂️
I can’t get the bottom screw out I need help
Will this work on a 04 marquis?

What's the procedure for the rear ones?
+Lucas Harmon Thank you for watching. Unfortunately, we do not have a video for your application. We will keep this in mind for future repairs. www.1AAuto.com?TH-cam&CTA%20Comment& 866-403-3393
+Lucas Harmon We currently do not have an auto repair video specific to your vehicle. You might be able to apply some of the basic steps shown in this video to your application. Here is a link to the repair part that would fit your vehicle. Hope this helps you out goo.gl/bd8zVn
I assume you'll need an alignment after this?
+Antonio Banderas Yes. You should get an alignment any time you work on your steering or suspension. Hope this helps you out. 1aauto.com 866-403-3393
after a sway bar link you should be fine without an alignment...
No. You're not adjusting anything in the steering alignment.
thanks man you made me safe some money. Never bring your car to Canadian tire for a safety. Want to charge me 350$ to do this job and install two exhaust clamps that are missing on the muffler, which is not necessary as my car was a police car and the police was driving this car as it is. I bought all parts and expend only 40$ to replace both links and to installed the two clamps.

how would you know when you have to replace this
+Rodrigo Aguirre The front end might feel loose or wobbly. To check if your stabilizer links are the problem you can try moving them by hand. If they move by hand, they're too loose and should be replaced. Hope this helps you out. 1aauto.com 866-403-3393
Try better angles
Wear safety glasses.
