Nice job Mark. Hello from Maine. I'm putting in a sway bar this morning,.... Now that the snow is letting up. 😅Your vid is a big help. Keep it up!

Good job Mark. It saves you alot of money doing it yourself or having a friend that knows, will save you alot money. To take it in to a shop, the labor itself will cost alot. Thanks for sharing. Aloha from Hawaii

Oh yeah trust me i wish i had that money cause i dont so i do it myself with no help sometimes its hella hard cause i dont have the tools or i need to research whats what and torq specs and other stuff but im grateful to get it done.. thats why i also do these videos to help others with the info and knowledge of how it as well!! And as always thanks for watching and spending time to check out my videos todd

[@alsacs3635]

Hi Mark, Awesome instructions. If I only replace the sway bar, do I still need to get the wheel alignment done?

[@MarkPuke13]

no bro...but they do recommend it..

[@arengif]

Hi Mark. I'm glad I stumbled upon your channel 'cause I have the same Kia and there are very few videos on this vehicle on KZbin. I wanted to ask you if your sportage has ever generated a P0700 code (Transmission Control Module). I can clear the code and it stays off for a long while but then comes back. Do you know when the TCM is located in this car?

[@MarkPuke13]

Thanks for watching.. sadly no.. please google diagrams of where to find it good luck

[@stanleyyu4675]

How are the new struts holding up? I need to replace both fronts on my 2007 Sportage and about to order the same parts from RA, just like to check in if parts are good. Let me know, thanks.

[@MarkPuke13]

Yeah its doing good not complaints and still feels like its new!!! I recommend getting the higher priced ones so you can get quality and peace of mind!! Thanks for watching

[@anonmon6236]

How long did it take you per side?

[@MarkPuke13]

Depends on you.. and how fast/ knowledgeable and comfortable you are tbh...that sway bar was the hardest.. but maybe 5 and a half hours for everything cause i was filming also ya know?

[@anonmon6236]

@@MarkPuke13 alright thanks, the shops here say its pretty much a full day for both sides so I guess they were kind of telling the truth

[@MarkPuke13]

Oh yeah tbh it also depends how bad the bolts are and how good of a mechanic they are... but its worth it in a shop cause if they mess up at least theres someone to blame! Ahaha rather then diy and youre stuck not knowing how to fix and left with all the blame aha
