Repair sway bar bushings and end link on GMC Acadia Acadia - pt2

[@alanboydston8472]

What I found to help get the bushing over the sway bar easer was to put the new bushing in boiling water for about 5 min take the pan of water to shop with bushings still in water use extra caution with hot water use gloves and tongs to take 1 bushing out at a time it will go over the sway with a lot less trouble repeat with other this works very well

A brilliant idea!!! I wish I would have thought of that before I fought that bushing for way to long.

do you mind sharing the brand of the new sway bar links? thanks!

Tony, the bushings are from Moog and I think I purchased them thru Rock Auto.

how tight should sway bar bushing be?? Lb/ft

[@10947792]

I don't know the manufacturers torque specification.....I just tightened them till I couldn't tighten them any more.

Just did this on my wife’s ‘10 Acadia, those bushings sucked getting in an out while in the garage. I have no idea how you were able to all the way under there

[@10947792]

you're right, it was a difficult place to get to with the vehicle on jack stands....Especially while trying to do a decent job at filming it too. Hopefully I was able to help a bit.
