Moog Rear Sway Bar Bushings & Links On A 99-04 Jeep Grand Cherokee WJ

[@CameronDC-Grimes]

Thank you for this video. My 2002 WJ Laredo has the sway bar bushing bolts rust seized in there. I have a Ryobi One+ HP 18v Brushless 600ft-lbs ½"dr impact wrench. I'm completely out of penetrating oil but plan on buying a 3pk of WD40 Rust Specialist abd a MAP GAS Torch next month! I was worried i couldn't get it out because i couldn't fit my 18mm wrenches on the nut of the rear sway bar bushings. You cant fit sockets on it either. But now i know it's welded to the mount! Which is some good news. I need to change all 4 sway bar links and sway bar bushings. Just waiting on money to buy penetrating oil and MAPP GAS.

I have a 2004 cherokee w/ 256,095 miles and just did my sway & end links in 35 minutes

If you want bushings and tie rod boots to last then put a moderate layer of silicone on them the day before the install. Obviously it's a protective coat that will double the lifetime of the part

I have a 2004 jeep grand cherokee special edition 4.0 with 93000 and owned since new. It has a annoying clunking sound when you hit minor imperfections in the road. Ive already changed the end links. Ive checked front end suspension its good. It has had replacement shocks already. Its driving me crazy. My street i live on is where it makes the noise.

I've noticed that different aftermarket brands make the metal sleeve (that the sway bar bolts go through) slightly different. Some of the sleeves are basically metal tubes cut to length, while others are basically metal rectangles machine pressed to make a cylinder sleeve (so they have a seam) and over time when the rubber wears out, that seam opens up slightly so then the bolt inside starts making a rattle over small bumps. I even saw one brand with a hard plastic sleeve & one metal one. Another thing noted was the lengths of them were slightly different when compared to each other as well.

Awesome job. I’m planing on doing that this weekend

How'd you make out? I'm doing it too. I haven't started yet

[@sonnysireci3973]

Looks like I have my work cut out for me! Lol

[@realistickindagoalz3838]

Good job

With the amount of work that took I think I would have just replaced everything with new stuff instead of cleaning and fighting getting everything broken down.

[@MrSrtman18]

So did that get rid of the little wiggle the rear of the wj has?

[@TugsGarage]

It helped a little but replacing the rear upper and lower control arms helped a bunch.

Thanks for the video, going to tackle this project this week. Quick question tho, is it worth it to replace the bushings and not just replace the links? Seems like an awful lot of work when you can just buy new links pre-pressed

[@TugsGarage]

Your welcome. If you can, I would get the links. Thanks for watching.
