Absolutely do not allow the bushing to spin! It wrecks the seals. Hold it still while you tighten the nuts. Especially don't use a power tool and just destroy the brand new ball joints. This is the absolute opposite of a good job. The actual service manual only costs 23 Dollars for 3 day access from motorcraft and tells you the right way. Torque values are 81 lower and 35 upper. This is a direct quote copied from the service manual: "NOTICE: Do not use power tools to remove or install the stabilizer bar link nuts. Damage to the stabilizer bar link ball joints and boots may occur. NOTICE: Make sure that the ball joint ball does not rotate."

Technically you can just jack the trailing arm up enough and the link will come out.
So easy
Why didnt you show which side goes in where?
No torque specs?
