to anyone wondering about the torque on the sway bar links, 20 pounds on those and 45 on the bushing bolts for the swaybar.

[@Wisconsin4eyes]

Thanks for your video! Very good and helpful.

[@Harleyguy03]

𝙇𝙊𝙇!! One handed ratcheted loosening of those old rusty nuts, still an informative video though.

[@themuskrat5776]

Do you have to remove pressure from the suspension or could you use ramps instead of jack stand?

[@tomasgutierrez4549]

Yall the best

[@necstanunn]

What bushings are those on the sway bar ? Do they differ from the Mega cab?

[@IMPAL3R1987]

[@baileymiller546]

Hi 1A Auto, I just wanted to ask. My 2001 Dodge ram 2500 Being a solid axle truck, I just changed my front sway bar links and bushings. Should I worry about them being on an angle? I had a hard time aligning the sway bar by myself.

[@thunderjetsupernova7378]

Thank you 💞

[@bradmetcalf7832]

Super video, Thank's. I'm 100 % sure I could have done it with out the vid but it sure is nice knowing" EXACTLY" what tool's your gonna need before you start and an idea of how to do it fast! What I can't understand is the 20 thumb downs on a freebie tutorial????

[@chrisx742]

My 07 ram looks completely different. (2wd) The tie rods are in front of the end link, so i cant rotate the sway bar forward. Also, the lower control arms have a different look. This job required one different size box wrench, a 17mm instead of 18mm. Either they redesigned this in 08 (I dont think so), or my truck is a different variant with the tow package, maybe a different sway bar. Weird and confusing.

[@hotsaltwaterfish]

Mine are exactly the way you explained yours are I have the same mode 07 5.7 hemi 2wd any tips for when I do mine also Im gonna be swapping out the bushings on the bar also can you confirm that they are 32mm Thanks

[@StonedNLethal]

Does that fitting on the bottom of end links have to be greased when installing new end links?

[@miguelcastaneda7236]

i know we used to use vasoline for installing energy suspension bushings on foreign cars

[@007lanski5]

Awesome

[@1AAuto]

Thanks for checking us out. 1aauto.com +007 Lanski

[@miguelcastaneda7236]

hmm shouldnt you have installed opposite of whay you did and face the grease fittings foward and stll maintaining the angle of lower part of link om sway bar....just asking

[@solwest7299]

Can I replace tha links while tha truck on tha ground??

[@michaelchristian4378]

Yes

[@gary7424]

Yes. ( or, use ramps)

[@913KMG]

How can I get my hands on one of those shirts he's got on? Lol! Epic!!

[@1AAuto]

Are you located in the united states ?

[@913KMG]

I am!!

[@1AAuto]

+913 KMG If you would like to send us your full name, shipping address and the size that you would like we can see if we have one in stock for you.

[@anthonystropoli2307]

Same for 2006 Durango?

[@genegorsline4414]

My 07 must have a different lower a arm , it has a triangle hole that you can't get a wrench in , and I can't use a socket because it will just spin , have to have a Allen wrench to hold the stud , but then can only use a wrench , which won't fit in that triangle hole at All

[@dahhtoo7129]

You dont torque the end links?

[@shelby50411]

What would cause a sway bar link to snap/ break?....mine broke

[@1AAuto]

+der ddd The metal may deteriorate over time and cause them to become thin and prone to breaking. 1aauto.com

[@jeremyholm2088]

Shouldn't the weight of the truck be on the suspension when tightening the sway bar bushings?

[@gary7424]

I think so, too. That’s why I use ramps vice jacks for this job.

[@tpierce289]

Is there a torque spec for these sway bar end links?

[@1AAuto]

+Tristan Pierce Torque the sway bar bushing bolts to 45 foot-pounds. Hope this helps you out 1aauto.com

[@PAKfromFYCB]

You didnt answer his question what about torque on the top and bottom of the bar links

[@Matterhorny]

Good n tight 👍

[@louindorato6855]

Why are the end links on an 09 Ram 1500 muck thinner ?

[@1AAuto]

+Lou Indorato This is most likely due to a body style change which typically will change certain parts used on the vehicle. 1aauto.com

[@mrhoya14]

Can bad end links cause my truck cab to rock side to side at higher speeds?

[@1AAuto]

+mrhoya14 That can be a possibility if it's pulling on both sides.

[@miguelcastaneda7236]

mean the death rattle ..yea worn tie rods did mine now goona do bar links previous owner did nothing all original . its a 2004..check u tube for death rattle

[@williammaloof541]

Why 45 pounds of torque just wondering?

[@bc_999]

Sway bar link torque specs?

[@1AAuto]

+Butch Carrizales Torque the sway bar bushing bolts to 45 foot-pounds

[@johnmccloud1831]

Wow Easy job About 45 minutes?

[@johndoh4064]

45 minutes ??? It literally takes however long it takes you to assemble a very few tools and turn them and so long as you do that in the correct order. *hint ( this vid was NOT done in the correct order ). And of course remember; As always, don't tighten/torque anything until you've either dropped the vehicle or preloaded the suspension

[@shelby50411]

You dont need to have vehicle on a lift correct?...you can do it without vehivle lifted?

[@1AAuto]

+der ddd You may be able to.

[@michaelbecker340]

greese fitting? but never used lol

[@lullguy6055]
