    Help getting rear sway bar links on

    Hello, i am currently frustrated with trying to get the sway bar links onto the sway bar while it is in the car. Does anyone know from experience an easier way or a method/procedure to get these son of a bitches on?

    Tia,
    Derek

    they are similar to the control arm bushings, you need to soak them in hot soapy water. they are a lot easier to press on though, I used a socket and an extension and used my palm to press them on while I rotated them with my other hand. wear gloves if you have girly hands. ;)

        Just replaced mine today. The old ones were total shit - the rubber at the top was crumbling away.

        Took it for a ride and it made a noticable difference.
