I have a 95 stepside 343900.1 miles all original still runs like a champ

[@CamaroTime]

Very nice. Take care of them and they will take care of you. Thanks for watching

[@thaboss0628]

This was the best video for this! Me and my son replaced both of mines on my 07 Yukon and oh my god! The difference it made! Keep doing what you are doing sharing your talent among us do it yourself type of people. Save me some money and I like saving money whenever I can. Thanks again.

[@CamaroTime]

Why thank you so very much. That is why I do the YT thing....To try to help just that one person. So glad it helped even if just a little. Funny how something so small can make such a big difference in how a vehicle rides. Thanks for watching

[@jmaa23]

Thanks for the video. About to do this on my 2012 tahoe.

[@CamaroTime]

My pleasure. It is not hard. Just take your time. Thanks for watching

[@OldYgg]

Your video helped my son who is 16 and myself who rarely do auto repair replace a sway bar end link that shattered on my 2000 Camaro. Excellent work on your video and many thanks for creating it.

[@CamaroTime]

Wow!!! SO glad I could be of just a little help. SO glad it worked for you. Even more glad that your son was able and willing to help. Maybe it will help get him interested in cars a little more being able to work on them. If there is anything I can do to help, just hit me up. Thank you so much for watching

[@bigschnieders1931]

My project for the day, I appreciate you showing me a few things.

[@CamaroTime]

More than welcome......Thanks for watching!

[@cessnapilot9727]

Nice video. Lots of good tips for people that don’t know much about their front end parts.

[@CamaroTime]

Thank you very much. I try to do my videos for the ones that do not know these things and often get criticized for it. But we all have to learn from somewhere. So glad you liked it. Thanks for waching

[@b5beast611]

Great install video. Preventative maintenance is well worth the time.

[@CamaroTime]

Thank you very much......Very well worth it. Thanks for watching

[@fatherandsoncamarotimetexa927]

Great video !!! Always learn something from your videos !!! Love the videos - keep em coming my friend !

[@CamaroTime]

Thank you very much . Will try my best. Thank you for watching

[@chemicalspore]

End links are always fun

[@CamaroTime]

LOL....Yep. Thanks for watching

[@saneauto]

It's looking great for almost 200k

[@CamaroTime]

Thank you

[@scottpearsontoolsmore185]

Great video thanks brother. Exalent job brother. I would have had my boy do it with me watching him. He probably would have complained that I didn't let him use the air tools. Like you said not always going to have the luxury. My x complained about me buying tools once. I got a tool box from the Mac man the next week. She really went off. I told her all the tools I'm getting needed a place to stay. She did work and I won't get into why I did some of the stuff I did. But you just showed everyone that some jobs are not that hard. Wire brush and some CRC penetrating oil maybe a little heat on some up here. Great how to video is were I am going with this. Keep up the great work see you in the next video thanks again brother.

[@CamaroTime]

LOL.....I hear ya about the tools. They are pricey but serve a purpose. Thanks Scott. When I do how to videos, I try to do them at home to show people that they really can do it themselves. On the ground with basic tools and a jack. Thanks for watching

[@3pilot]

What torque for bolts on link?

[@CamaroTime]

I never worry about the torque on these....They are locking so they don't back off. I just snug and go half round after. Thanks for watching

[@drwestlund]

Ratcheting wrenches have got to be one of the best inventions of all time in my opinion. Every time i use them i remember how much harder shit was to do with normal wrenches. And how much time they save.

[@CamaroTime]

LOL...They do save a lot of time. Thanks for watching

[@MrJimmynadeau]

If your doing both loosen them both at the same time so your not fighting the torsion of the sway bar.

[@CamaroTime]

Yes sir. Great tip. I normally try to do it as if the average Joe is doing it at home with limited tools, jacks, stands etc......So that they know they too, can do it. Thanks for watching

[@pnelly424]

Great video so true take care of your rides and they will take care of you 👍👍

[@CamaroTime]

I agree. Thanks so much for watching...Plus, I actually enjoy doing it

[@pnelly424]

I haven’t up loaded my cars yet trying to get my nerves up l’m not going to be on the camera tho lol when I upload them

[@CamaroTime]

@@pnelly424 No biggie. Some people just can not do it for whatever reason. All personal choice. Will be on the lookout for them

[@pnelly424]

Ok thank you

[@knightrandom404]

Awesome video bro thanks for sharing keep up the good work

[@CamaroTime]

Thank you so very much, for watching

[@freddievilla6471]

Gracias muchacho. Saved me some serious cash and headache

[@CamaroTime]

Truly my pleasure. So glad it helped. Thank you sir for watching

[@victorserrano6380]

You need to put grease to the sway bar links ?

[@CamaroTime]

Nope. Thanks for watching

[@stevemollis5416]

I think the links should be torqued to about 20 foot lbs so the bushings have give and are not completely squished?

[@CamaroTime]

Actually the torque is not so they are not squished. That is just the recommended rating so as to not strip/break, or have the nuts back off. Thanks for watching

[@rayjohn14834]

Do you have to take the tire off?

[@CamaroTime]

No sir. But it makes it a ton easier. Thanks for watching

[@rayjohn14834]

Thanks I just pulled up on the curb on one side then installed the one then pulled it on the other side of the curb and installed the other one worked out perfectly 😂

[@CamaroTime]

Excellent. So glad you got it done. Rides like a new one I bet. Thanks for watching

[@victorserrano6380]

I can replace without take the tire out ?

[@CamaroTime]

You can. But you will need a jack. Thanks for watching

[@bigcurt011]

Just changed mine on my 07 Tahoe 300k and still rides like new

[@CamaroTime]

Funny how the small things make such a huge difference. Thanks for watching

[@morecowbell235]

Thanks for the video! I can get to mine by just turning my wheels. Do I need to jack it up to remove load or anything? Or can I just change them out if I can get to them? Thank you

[@CamaroTime]

You will need to get the load off of it. Because if you don't there will be pressure on the end links from the sway bar. And "if" you get them out you will not be able to move the sway bar to get them back in. Thanks for watching

[@morecowbell235]

@@CamaroTime Thanks for the reply

[@texasbeachbum]

Nice 191 K ! in the past five years I haven't been able to keep a car past 30K miles

[@CamaroTime]

LOL...……..You will when you get the ZL1.....Thanks for watching

[@roltyd22]

Can this be done with the tires not removed and car not jacked up?

[@CamaroTime]

It can be. Thanks for watching

[@joseh9955]

My Tahoe has 300k miles still runs like new

[@CamaroTime]

Excellent. Congrats. Transmission finally went out on mine. Almost $3k to rebuild. Fixing to put it in the shop. Thanks for watching

[@marvinramirez5260]

thanks for the video you made me save my wallet great video

[@CamaroTime]

No sir. Thank you for watching. Glad I could help.

[@FABAutomotiveDetailing]

Great how to video! Some sway bar links can be an absolute pain in the butt. I usually just cut them off with a torch or a cutting wheel. Sway bar links are very crucial to tire wear and that’s why I tell people they need to replace them. Some shops say that it’s no big deal if they are broke or “it’s just an annoying noise” but that’s just not true. For example Taking a turn at 30 mph with a broken sway bar link is equivalent to taking a turn at 60 mph. If that Tahoe was here in Indiana the sway bar would be rusted in two at the link and the link would also be rusted in two. Hand tools wouldn’t cut it in Indiana. Must be nice living somewhere that you don’t have to deal with much rust! Lol Are those the original ball joints? I have done 100’s of ball joints on Tahoe’s over the years. I only ask that because the upper ball joints didn’t have a grease fitting. I

[@CamaroTime]

Thanks Brian. Yes , I am very lucky to live in the non-rustbelt part of the US...LOL Yes sir. They are original ball joints. If I was at work, I would hit it with the impactor. Or if it was bad or stubborn then the cutting wheel comes out. LOL But I try to do these as most everyone else would in their own yard. On the ground and with basic stuff. Thanks for watching

[@Yoddic]

So sometime shortly after the polar vortex, it appears you neighbor thinks it a good time to cut the grass in the dead of winter????? 3:02 you can really see him go by in the background lol

[@CamaroTime]

LOL......That was actually the wife. We have a HUGE pin oak tree in the back yard. And because of the rain over the past 3 months and the cold, we could not rake all the leaves. So it was dry and warm enough. But rather than rack or blow, she used the lawn mower to get them in small piles which we moved today.....Thanks for watching

[@Yoddic]

@@CamaroTime Ah gotcha lol

[@CamaroTime]

@@Yoddic lol

[@drwestlund]

well they obviously they dont use salt on the roads there. Stuff dont look nothing like that in minnesota with 200, 000 miles. I wish.

[@CamaroTime]

They use a salt and brine mix when we expect to get snow or ice. At most 3 to 4 times a year is all.....I have seen photos from the Salt land.....Yuck
