Went with the Mevotech greaseable bars, hope to get a little extra life out of them. My vehicle is a 2008 Sebring convertible with the 2.4 litre 4 cylinder. Has a little over 132K, but is starting to show her age. Again, thanks for the video, had heard about this procedure to either keep the cat on the ground or have both wheels off and in the air. I will use my jack stands and replaced the links while car is off ground, much easier installation!

I don't need to do this job...YET, but now I know the proper names of a few suspension components and how to diagnose and deal with "clunks." I've done engine and brake and cluthc issues but have tended to shy away from suspension related gremlins. Not any more. Very good video.

Thanks for your comment. Now you know!

[@jeremyreagan3974]

Great video, great technique, very thorough. I'm getting the same "Clunk" on our 14.5' Range Rover Sport with 106K miles... The "Clunk" is coming from the drivers side wheel well area which would indicate it's something either attached to the knuckle/HUB, air-strut, or sway bar/links... Now I'm 95% sure it's either the sway-bar bushings and/or the sway-bar end links. Happens on medium to hard acceleration. I bought both OEM sway-bar bushings and as for the end-links as I went with the Moog serviceable end-links too. Going to install them this weekend God-willing... I hate that "Clunking" sound. Thanks again for the diagnosis that the Dealer has missed twice and costed me over 3K chasing down.

Hey Glen, just wanted to thank you for this great video. The tip of lifting the car slightly on the opposite side made the trick for removing the damaged part. You are the man! Thanks again and many blessings to you and your family!

[@ozzstars_cars]

Glad the video helped Javi!

You could as well put the jack down the low arm of the side you working at and lift it a little bit, then you can make the screw go out easily. This way you do not need to lift up the other car´s side ;), BTW of you are going to check the car after this, you just can disconect only the lower screw of the link instead of removing the whole link before to replace it.

[@ChrisVA3ECO]

THANK YOU!! After listening to clunking for the last 6 months, I did your test and it failed. To test in a parking lot: I turned the front wheels so that I could touch the links with my fingers while reaching in from the rear of the front tire. My brother then bounced the corner of the car and I could feel the play in the lower part of the link quite easily. Both sides were shot. I got my mechanic to change both sway bar links, and it's smooth as silk now. Thanks again! (I like your teaching style, very well done.)

Just bought a 2014 Sorento and I thought I just wasn't used to the steer by wire steering, it felt squirrely, with a very slight pull to the right, the previous owner mentioned during the test drive that a clunk had started recently. Had my mechanic diagnose and fix before I saw this video. Exactly what you did. Fixed the clunking and the steering tightened up and started tracking perfect.

Quick way to check those sway bar links. While the car is on the ground, turn the steering wheel so you can have a little access to the sway bar. Put a pry bar long enough to reach between the control arm and sway bar. Pull the pray bar up and down. You will hear the the clunk noise. You must have the pray bar between the control arm and sway bar.

I need a pray bar.

My clunk, was the stabilizer link. Devil of a time finding which one. Meaning, it always sounded off on the RF. It turned out to be the LEFT FRONT, LOWER sway bar link joint was the culprit. It projected the noise to sound like the right front. The top of the link was still tight, that kept me from getting a shake test by grabbing the link to check for play.

[@layanglayang2222]

Tks dude. Fixed my Hyundai Starex (i-Load or i-Max in other countries) clunking noise when going over the road hump, after changing this front stabilizer bar link. Previously changed both sides of tie rod end due to noise when turning the steering wheel. But it will not stop there. Weeks later another slight clunking noise heard when turning the steering wheel due to worn both sides of steering rack end. It looks like this is the package of compulsory components change of Korean made cars after hitting 150K km mileage. Tie rod ends, front stabilizer sway bar links (both sides), steering rack ends, and steering rack rubber bush if worn & loose.

[@ozzstars_cars]

It's always going to be something on a well used vehicle.

[@Wakeupandsniffthecoffee]

I was waiting to see how you got the bottom 17mm nut loose. There is almost no room with the control arm and Kia manual shows dropping the subframe and removing the whole bar. No way I will do that. I'm honna go struggle to get it off now. How much difference would a grease fittings make, if maintained by greasing it regular, versus life without a grease fittings. Parts are relatively cheap and my own links for the 2005 and have 232k miles with no grease fittings. The clunk is annoying, but not a big issue. I finally decided to change the links to see if the clunk goes away, rather than jumping into any other parts. Update, replaced sway bar links, control arms and struts. Strut tops were bad, but the clunk was still there. Today I confirmed the noise is from worn stabilizer bushings that hold it to the frame. Now the problem is that to get to the bolts for the bushings, it requires loosening or removing the subframe to reach the bolts. I did see a video where they loosened and dropped the subframe slightly, but even then it's a pain in the arse.

Great video and advice I'm going through the same thing I just changed both lower Ball joints but still getting noise thanks so much I'm gonna order my 2 sway bar links today and change them out 👍

[@ozzstars_cars]

Let us know how it goes!

[@michealbartlett1764]

Thanks for the video. Was 99% sure I had the same problem. Only wanted to change the one. Ended up not the one I thought. Great tips and appreciate the video.

[@ozzstars_cars]

Glad the video helped you out Michael.

[@user-cm9uh6sj7n]

Yes they make a lot of noise . I save the old ones , as that piece of rod comes in handy . Nice no nonsense video.

[@ozzstars_cars]

Thanks Esox!

I like your videos Glen of where you show each step. I assume that anyone who watches doesn't know and you've got them covered. And for the ones who do know, they'll just skip through the video. My first thought about that impression was that you were pressing on the stabilizer link bolt. So, to confirm it, I back tracked through the video to see you doing that, but you were using your thumb. I see further down in the comments, that's what you were doing. I guess you cut that part out. Anyway, great video and keep up the good work! 😊👍

[@ozzstars_cars]

The magic of editing. 😁 Thanks Terry.

Thanks for this video. Wife's 2015 Santa Fe has the clunk. All of the shops I took it to said they couldn't find anything wrong.

[@ozzstars_cars]

Let us know what you find. 😉

[@devilzadvocate7735]

Have same issue with a kia forte koup. New end links, new struts, hub bearings and everything else feels right... still got a clunk

[@petermoore8811]

Amazing guide. If my quote comes in too high. Heck im doing it myself. I do have a torque wrench so should be smooth.👍

[@ozzstars_cars]

Easy job

[@petermoore8811]

​@Ozzstar's Cars yeh got it done and it was easy. But it was at the limit of my strength. Thank you though. The links were 140. Could have got them cheaper.

[@BigDog50001]

I haven’t had any problems with Moog suspension parts. Great video Glen!

[@ozzstars_cars]

Some say differently but I haven't personally seen any issues.

[@hahahahaha8660]

@@ozzstars_cars been threw 3 sets of end links on my dodge charger from moog in the past year and a half. 👀

[@KBzPTGT]

MOOG parts aren't as good as they used be.

[@mrhyde0705]

​@hahahahaha8660 just blew through OEM in 1 month 😂 I'll replace them with cheap aftermarket from now on and save 20 bucks a side. Won't be using moog though. Their parts aren't correct.

[@r0b3z97]

Awesome vid ! My gun bleeds too 🥴🤣 it’s so annoying. I think during summer it’s worse. So no I just leave it in oil pan. I thought it was just me with a defective grease gun.

[@ozzstars_cars]

It's the quality of today's grease. Thanks for the comment.

[@weeverob]

excellent video, thanks. I've been the only owner of my Ford Ranger. Does it have a rear sway bar?

[@ozzstars_cars]

Probably not but can't see it from my house. 🤪

[@coastalcleaningandmaintena2884]

Easiest job on the suv. Done em multiple times and never noticed a difference. Also an awd also wanders there notorious for it

[@gamer620496]

Great Video, I appreciate you taking the time showing us that job.

You're welcome Alex

Tremendously helpful! Thank you for explaining in detail , certainly helped save a lot of time and frustration.

[@gazfrc4754]

3-years late, but the ring indent on the palm of your left hand ........................ is from the centre pin of the jack handle?

[@ozzstars_cars]

Good guess but it's actually from the sway bar link bolt, when I grabbed onto it.

[@Kay-dx8vm]

I did replace the sway bar links on my 08 Acura to a few months ago but man, I hate it. It comes with allen key slot at the end of the knuckle so taking it off was a pita. And because of that, now I'm doubting myself if I did tighten it enough (didn't torque spec it )

[@ozzstars_cars]

The hex kind can be a bear to remove. I usually cut the old ones off.

[@rodss1570]

Excellent demonstration! I think I'm using the same grease as you😂

[@ozzstars_cars]

🤣👍

[@coastalcleaningandmaintena2884]

Nice thorough walk thru. Nice work. And up north in upper Canada where it's -40c for weeks at a time and a 6 month winter. I always use Moog parts never had an issue with them. And those zurks already installed same with their ubjoints etc. Saves u bunch of time drilling and tapping your own zurks in. I like to be able to service my truck when doing oil changes while its draining you put a few pumps in and chances are that part will be a lifetime part and not break again. Not like the OEM LIFETIME components. Those are a joke.

[@ozzstars_cars]

Absolutely! Stay warm and thanks for your comment.

[@danielkutcher5704]

Just had sway bar links replaced. Still clunks on bumps just as badly. '07 Hyundai Accent coupe. 184,000 miles. What next?

[@ozzstars_cars]

Find a competent mechanic that can diagnose the problem. Let us know if you can what the problem was.

[@barrysampson7651]

I just bought a 2012 Santa Fe limited has 177k miles kinda weird most times drives smooth as can be other times I feel like vibration and can hear something making noise sounds like front driver side. Tires look brand new. I don’t know if rim is bad but don’t make sense cause smoothes out and drives perfectly most times weird any advice be welcome. I just bought it can’t afford be putting bunch more money into it

[@ozzstars_cars]

That's tough to diagnose over the internet.
