How to diagnose and repair front end noise and how to replace the sway bar links on a 2002 Honda CRV.How to replace the Stablizer links
Thanks Jim. I took my Jetta to a mechanic since for a clunking noise on the front driver's side. They couldn't find anything! Saw your video, checked the links, exactly this problem. Solved it myself!!Saved me some money :)
Wow great job.Thank you for your input.
A mechanic should find your fault easily.
Jim has a very pleasing demeanor gives you the idea that he knows what he is doing.good jb Jim

Jim, I enjoy your videos a lot! You explain things in clear language and your directions are easy to follow.
It looks like you replaced the sway bar links with Moog parts, and my Moog sway bar links have failed after less than a year, even with torqueing them to spec, 22 ft lb, and greasing them every 3 months. Maybe I just got a bad run of the parts. This time I'm going with TRQ. The Mevotechs I bought for the back have lasted 3 years so far and are not showing signs of wear.
Nice! Thanks! Just bought my 2001 and I thought the knock might be the strut but it seems the sway bar links are a more common problem
Hi Jim,
I someone asked me, from 1 to 10 how much I know how to fix a car, I would say 0.5 just to show that I am not a dummy. I took my car to 3 mechanics they couldn't find what caused the noise. They asked ridiculous money for different parts, but they never mentioned anything about the sway bar link. After watching you vid, I was able to fix it myself.
Thanks so much for helping saving thousands.
Best teacher.
J. JOSEPH I am happy to hear that. I appreciate your comment. Keep up the good work!
J. JOSEPH Obviously YOU know more than the 3 other mechanics! Give yourself credit!
The car is running great Jim!!Thank you
+Nick Petruzziello Hi Nick,Thank you for your up date.i hope all is well.
Nick Petruzziello where you located
What brand of stabilizer links did you use?? Also what does the upper control arm gotta do with the stabilizer links?
Nice work Jim on replacing the stabilizer links and I'm sure Nick will be happy now...
+stuzman52 Thank you Terry .Yes Nick was very happy
Great video! I am having some noise that I think is sway bar related but my mechanic wants to replace 2 transmission mounts ($$$). Now I can check the sway bar myself. I will let you know what I find.
Great keep me posted
Thanks. Helps if you start by stating the *year,* make, and model.
I tried this on my 2003 CRV. Unfortunately I replaced only one side. After 3 years the other side is making noise. Not keen on doing that again.
Typically, what would a job like that cost me with Moog parts? I realize different areas have different costs. But maybe a ballpark price would suffice. Thanks and great video.
Thanks for the great video. I exactly have same problem with my crv.
I'm happy to help.
Good honest professional help.Thanks Jim👍🏻
Great Videos learned to fix my car and truck and saved $$$
Hey Jim,
I'm really enjoying your videos. I just attempted to do this repair on my '04 civic. I only got half was done. I saw in another video you did about these links that sometimes the old ones are so seized that you have to cut them off. I ran into this problem and had to cut the passenger side ones off but I'm wondering if there is another option a DIYer can do. I can't seem to get any slack in the driver's side links to get clearance for my saw. Thanks for the help.
You have that strong NU YAWK accent! Excellent video
Thank you for watching.
New York or Boston?
just changed mines on my 99 crv the video was very helpful. thanks
+Julio Bucio I'm happy to help
Hello there Jim!. Can these sway bar links be replaced while the car is in the ground? if so, is there anything that needs to be different or checked for? Thanks in advance for you reply!
I believe i have this same issue ive replace tie rods and Upper Control just to now see i need to replace this as wll
Reallt wanted to see how you would have removed honda links on other side.. good video tho!
What brand names do you feel are most reliable in your experience for this sway bar link?
MOOG ! # 1
@@rbk7876 Nice! Not long after making my post that's what I ended up buying. Really like that you can grease the joints on the MOOG vs. the non-serviceable Honda OEM links.
A grease fitting on a Honda! My head won't stop spinning!
After 287k miles on my 04 CR-V I had this vary same noise.
Thanks for watching.
Excellence demonstration!
My 2000 5 speed like tha from i check it nothing look run only when i driving it do saing noise thiking the strut i no what the problem nice. Video men
Thank you for such a great video. I think I am going to do this to quiet my Honda Accord. I was only going to do the drivers side. But I think I will do both sides like you said. Now with the greasable fittings are they better? I don't have a grease gun. But how much grease you put in and what type of grease?
Hi I on a 2002 Honda crv and when I am pulling away or come to a stop I have a clunk I was thinking could be my sway barr bushes or do you now of anything else 👍
Nice work. I couldn't trust a mechanic to diagnose my squeaks.

you are simply amazing....
Happy to help!
loved your last vid
+Kevin Stanard Thank you for your feedback and for watching
Hi Jim... I have a 2008 crv that needs that same work done. I am wondering if it wouldn't easier to power off the four bolts holding the sway bar to the frame to after you take off the bottom bolts links, Might be easier to remove and install the on the sway bar itself... Your thoughts.
You said it was mechanical error for the nut coming loose. Could it also be that it was a very cheap part, and it came loose for how cheap it was made and not mechanical error?
Very helpful best vid yet
Thank you for watching and your input
Great Job Jim, Thank You.
Great video. How much does it cost to have this done. My local Honda dealership has priced this at 340.00 this would include the parts for both the front and the rear sway bar link kit, and labor. do you think this is a good price. Or do I go to amazon and buy it myself and have my someone else beside the dealership do it?
I just bought a couple of sway bar links. On one of them, I can easily move the ball joints by hand. The other is so tight I can only move it when it's in a vise. Are they both ok to install?
good job and shared knowledge... God BLESS
+jirojoseph esman I'm happy to pass on my knowledge.Thank you for watching and your feedback.
Hello i replaced wheel bearing assembly n the strut moved n i can't line up bolt holes please help !! On 2011 Honda CR-V
please help: at times when I accelerate my 1999 honda crv.. I hear what sounds like a metal ball inside a tin can..any idea on what that could be? and when I turn in reverse.I also hear a rubber rubbing sound.. thank you
Hello Jim
I have owned honda elements for years and aftermarket sway bar links are not as good as the original honda.
+Lon Willis I agree with you but the Moog is just as good and the best part is they have grease fitting to prolong the life.Thank you for your input and for watching.Jim
Moog is junk now!! I replaced the Honda links with Moog and both front and back links didn't last a year. grease fittings are bad because most ppl blow out the seals by putting too much grease in them. the Honda links last for a long, long time
Mevotech haha, used car lot specials, I'd say someone forgot to tighten the nut , just a guess.
Thanks Jim
+Joe Briggs I'm happy to share my knowledge.Thank for watching
great video jim
Thank you for watching
i got this rattle like tin with coins metal to metal sound on left front of my sienna over bumps ,hopefully i can find the problem, any suggestions?
any idea what this could cost at a repair facility?
You sound exactly like McGruff the crime dog
Surprising no one noticed he forgot to put on the grease boots on them. Now when you grease them the grease will escape and they will run dry and be in need of replacement in a few months.
Good morning Jim I’ve watched several of your videos and I have a problem I have a 2007 grand jeep Cherokee I have Have squeaks clogs in the front and I have taken it to two different dealers and they can’t find nothing wrong what would you recommend
Can you send me a video of the noise? Thanks for watching.
Thanks for responding Jim I appreciate that I did watch more of your videos and I found out the anti-sway bar links were bad and they replaced took care of the problem thank you very much for the videos keep up the good work
I have a 2004 Honda Civic SIR. Making a similar clunking noise when at slow speeds/abrupt movements/hard acceleration. Thought it might be a mount but the engine doesn't move when revved while parked (observed no movement as friend revved engine). Could it also be my drop links?
Yes I would loo at the links first and then the ball joints.
I asked you a few weeks back about an Acura rxs-s that was burning alot of oil, its turns out the compression was fine but needed a complete valve job. My 17 yr old son is now telling me that we should had the block done because you cant do one with out the other. Sounds like nonsense to me. the mechanic assured me the block was fine. Your thoughts? 17 yr old boys do know everything.
+Kevin Stanard I'm sorry I don't recall how many miles was on the car ?
+jimthecarguy 133000
+Kevin Stanard To be honest with 133,000 miles it is very likely that the rings in the engine are worn and causing the engine to burn oil.The compression in the motor can be OK and still burn oil because the oil ring witch is below the compression ring may be going bad.
Hi Jim, I have a 98 civic hatch & I'm experiencing squeaking noise on front driver side... I was told I had to re-grease my stabilizer links or spray wd-40 or pb blaster on the bushings to stop the squeaking. If they're aren't bad then the squeaking would stop & if not I have to replace... What are your thoughts? And thanks for these videos. Great job
Good question.Before you spray anything you want to check the front end first for any defective parts.
+jimthecarguy thanks I will do just that
will bad stabilizer links make the same sound as bad shock, Honda tells to replace both stabilizer links and right shock
Yes a bad link will should the same as a bad shock I'm happy to help.Thank you for stopping by the shop.
Do you think strut can go bad on a car with only 35k on it, how would I know for sure it is a strut and nothing else 2011 HONDA CRV
Great vid!
I'm happy to help. Thanks for watching.
Thanks!
How much does this repair run?
May be a dumb question but where exactly do you apply the grease? My 99 CRV makes this same sound on both sides especially over potholes. This looks like a fairly inexpensive fix... not fun but doable. Still learning all this car stuff and first time I’ve bought an older used car. Previous owner was a moron.
You will need to check the links to make sure that they are no good.Thank you for stopping by the shop.
You will need to check the links first before you grease anything.Thank you for stopping by the shop.
I believe it is only on the after market links that you will see greese nipples. The Honda ones are pre-lubed and factory sealed.
goodnamesareallgone1 That's true. Thanks for watching.
Hey, quick question. On my 10 year old Acura, I hear a thump when driving over uneven pavement or patches on the road. It comes from the rear and I believe from the right rear. I tried few times to drive over the patch with left rear and nothing abnormal, but with right rear there is a thump. Car has 111K on it. I did push each rear corner to see if shocks aren't good, but they seem to hold well. Can sway bar links/bushings make a dull thumping noise?
Check the Bushings and links off course. They are the cheapest parts if you want to replace even with Dealer Parts. Rubber bushing first, and links later if it does not fix your problem. Jack one of the wheel up and check how much the gap on the bushing. For the links, you need a pray bar.
@@rondhole Thanks, will check that. I have also seen one video where rear shock upper mount was ripped and made similar noise.
@@Charkatak that's $500 repair, don't overthinking. Check the cheapest first. Upper mount rubber, easy check but could be expensive if it is struts, not shocks.
@@rondhole Right it is expensive repair. I did visual check, when my rear tire was off(had some air leak), but all rubber parts were good, but will do as you suggested previously and physically check for play. I do have rear shocks, as the springs are separate. The downside is I would need to remove rear seat to access shock mounts if these would need replacing.
How much would this cost (roughly) to replace at my local mechanic? Price for parts? Price for labor?
Probably a late reply but my dealer is trying to charge 370 total and that's the reason why I'm watching this video.
That was at least a easy diagnostic. Too bad a mistake cost Nick some money but it could have been worse if that came off all the way.
+wyattoneable To bad every car is not that easy.Thanks for watching
are u buying replacement parts from napa?
+Eli Gomez Good question some of the parts are Napa but most of the time it is Moog
Those look like Mevotech links, I saw an MS marking
+SilentServiceCode You could be right.They did look like the Mevotech
Nice!
hi jimthecarguy, do you know what the cause of my car making a whine noise when goin at speeds 30 35? i can only here this whining noise when im at that speed and not pushing on the gas.
+Jose Olvera A noise like that is difficult to find.You will have to narrow it down to possibly an engine noise,brakes noise or suspension first.
+jimthecarguy all i know is that the sound seems to come from the drivers side.
What's the name of the part you replaced??
+ANTiViRUSplus There is 2 ways to refer to them that is Sway bar links or stabilizer links.
And in the uk we call them drop links
Can I relocate you? Lol why cant all mechanics be like Jim. I wish I could shoot you a pic of the job just dine on my scion xb. Its upside down and all wrong. Lucky it didnt anap n kill me on the fwy
Thank you . You know I make house calls.Lol . Yes over the years I have seen so really bad mechanics
Guess the other mechanic was in a hurry to go to lunch 😉.
Thanks for watching.
We are going to replace all these parts, then we will call Nick...
Thanks for watching
How do you know the last tech left it loose? That is a junk aftermkt. part That may have gone bad on its own!!! I would never put junk like that on a Honda
+Joseph Tucci Thank you for watching and your input
Where are you located? business address please.
Awful angles
Threads are *not* destroyed. You could have worked with that. $$$$$$$$$$$
Rasputin 883 I was thinking he could re-thread it, or just thread it as tight as possible and then put another nut on there. Two nuts, with the outside nut being a locking nut.
