I just found that both of mine were completely gone?! I never had a problem or noticed anything different while driving! But definitely buying them asap and installing they must have broke off
I had a crunching sound coming from the drivers side front wheel well everytime I’d hit a bump at slow speed especially if I was turning at all when I hit a bump… (2018 Silverado 4x4 custom 4.3L dbl cab)
Replacing both links and new bushings for the sway bar as well took care of the noises of course… oh I also had the abs light and traction control light come on as well
I actually still hear that and it bothers the ever living crap out of me. I can’t seem to trace it down. Does yours happen when you turn decently sharp and then straighten the wheel?
Dude this is perfect but use a bottle jack or similar to help compress the bushings. I put a jack on the bottom of the bolt and just eased the bolt up enough to get the but to catch (then proceeded like you did). Both sides took me 30 minutes total.
@@RyanEnders-m8e that ain’t a bad idea. But I didn’t have really anything worth of tools back then. If I did it today I’d probably do it somewhere near to how you said!
I haven’t noticed a big enough difference to tell if they’re more stiff than the OEM ones, but I can feel a slight difference in ride quality from fixing the broken one.
I just had to do mine on a 18 Canyon and I gotta say having an impact wrench made such a huge difference 😅 just vice grip the center shaft and hit it with some ugga duggas and she was free spinnin in no time.
@@hunterrwiilson exactly what I did, I don't have a clue what size socket to use on top. I did remove both sides and I was able to move the bar up with my hand, I then screwed the passenger side together a little then did the drivers side. was really easy.
"Spray the living crap out of it" works like a charm. Solid diy video
I'm a fan of this method, seems to work for me more often than not lol. But thank you!
Love the hand tork spec ❤ that's my go to as well 😊

@@3G00dboys41 you’ll notice a stability difference for sure once you replace them
So if u jack the truck up to let new fit since its longer than original.
When braking did you get tire vibration from the tread.
@@bartmann83 I dont believe so
Ok. Thank you!
@@bartmann83 no worries!

Thank you bro..easy to fix my 14 chevy silverado
I had he'll of a time with my GMC 1500 Sierra. Could not get the top bushing in place.
@@johnmich1242 it’s definitely a hassle
Is this part that you replacement are making a little different in levelling between each sides?!
@@ws.wa444 I think it effected stability more than anything
were you experiencing like a clunking noise before hand?not sure if im having the same issues but its extremely loud.

Yes , just left a mechanic and it’s the cv
@@01coreythomas that would make sense. I’ll check mine after work and see if I have the same issue. Thanks for the help!
No worries
Happens to me too and I’m 2WD. Makes me wonder if we need longer sway bar end links
Great video! Bout to do mine today after work
Thank you! Hope it all went well

Are they stiffer bushings compared to oem? Ride quality?

Still don’t have those yet 😭
@@hunterrwiilson brotherrrr you gotta getcha one.. Even Harbor Freight has some really good options these days
@@dgreen8388 you’re telling me. I’m finally looking into getting some. Doing a project as we speak and I could really use one 😂
Damn finally where ya been at
Dude, I’ve had so much happen within the past few months 😮💨 so I’m finally getting back into this. Working on another vid as we speak 🤫
Is there supposed to be a nut on the top to tighten it?
It’s on the bottom, the bolt Just goes through the top as it tightens. You’ll need to hold the top piece with like some vice grips

Tighten to 14ft lbs
Definitely do both sides at the same time. The you will thank me later. Job will go a lot faster on installing them.
Get the ones with lifetime warranty from o,Riley
Almost embarrassed to watch this and see how hacky the work is.
hope that’s not your favorite shirt
I normally wear it when doing oil changes in the winter time, she’s got a distinct purpose lol
