Stabilzer Links - easy fix? What do I need?

[Briandog1]

Hello everyone, I know this is on here quite often, but can the repair for stabilzer links be done by myslef? Can you tell me what I need? Parts numbers?

Also, is there a TSB or recall notice out on this. If so, will dealers fix? Just trying to get an idea to what's involved here.

Thanks for all your help.

I'm not entirely sure what the "stabilizer" is, if what's being refered to is the sway bar end links, it's essentially a bolt on each end with a couple bushings on each end and a pipe/spacer betwixt them

rockauto.com is a good source and they will direct you to the right p/n's. I just switched to Moog and the change is phenomenal. To remove the old up front, you'll need a 7 or 8 mm hex anda 21 mm wrench. rears need a 6 mm hex and 18 mm wrench. Search the forum and you'll find lots of help with this. Good luck.

Do a search here for "Moog links" and you wil find lots of info. There are more to these than the old bolt and rubber bushings. The Moogs will cost you about $20-25 ea. I would go out and put some penetrating oil on the nuts as soon as possible and let is start soaking in, because they can be corroded and may be difficult to get off. Use a hex wrench to hold the center while you remove the nut with a wrench. The Moogs will be different and have grease fittings, so you will need to grease them. I think TRW makes some that are sealed, no grease fittings, similar to OEM. Took me a little over an hour to do all 4 of mine.
