Same style of links are on the Pontiac Aztek. Finding Aztek specific info for free is hard, so looking at other GM vehicles at the same era, has gotten me through an entire suspension rebuild. Thanks for the info! This is my first vehicle I've done brakes and handling first.

Great video! Why is it that replacement sway bar links on these models are longer than OEM? Notice how much farther your replacement bolt is sticking out than the original.
Could you leave these off to get a lil more flex off road? Like a jeep so to speak? Or is that a slippery slope being IFS and all? Just curious...good video buddy
I ordered these sway bar links and they were too short. There wasn't enough thread on the top to get the nut screwed on. I ended up having to put the OEM ones back in.
@@LotsOfPaypa Does anyone know a part number for a kit that would work for a lifted 2005 GMC Sierra? 4" lift..HELP!! Please and thank you. Any help would be much appreciated.
What is it, 15mm or 14mm? Sure, you know what you are doing? It was a 13mm for I, and I used a vicegrip to hold the WHOLE metal piece. NOT the tiny end of it. Folks, stay away from this shop.
Other video I just tried to watch on this subject, the guy had a speech impedament also. Maybe its my hearing. Other guy sounded drunk but with rapid slurred speech. On this one I keep hearing "beericle" and " sweer bar links". To bad I can find nothing on my model of Malibu. Ps dont drink and drive a BEERICLE!

Was it riding rough?

Mine were a bit shorter than originals, but it does not matter since i am changing both.
Also jacking up the arm to ride level helps

My guy had a lil too much coffee that day or somethin 😂 great video!
Thank you guys you just helped my replace my sway bar link on my 2002 suburban!
My 2003 sway bar links just went out as well!
Thanks helped a lot
What was that bit you use to tap out the sway bar link at the top was it a bit you put in an SDS rotary hammer or was it a Pneumatic tool complete?
Air hammer
Is it possible for these links to produce a "creaking" noise?

The issue I’m having is the bolt isn’t long enough on the new one and it’s been kicking my butt I’m not sure what to do at this point
Use a jack to lift up the control arm and jack it up.
The control arm needs to be loaded, or press down on the sway bar with a long pry bar.
Do I need an alignment after replacing these?
You do not

Does it matter if I out them upside down
GOOD VIDEO..RETIRED LARRY..
You didn't actually torque them to 140ftlb with such little effort 🤥
Is it possible to do these with the wheels on the ground?
Yes
Would oem links work on a lifted truck?
No…

Does the wheel have to be off and the truck be up?
If you can do it with the wheel on and the truck on the ground ... maybe at least put it on a jack stand.
My passenger side sway bar link is completely gone😅
You're supposed to torque the sway bars too.. Oh that's right the thumb torque..lol
