Wow, great video, my Patriot is the worst sounding squeaky bastard in the neighbourhood, I’m gonna have to try this out. Hopefully that does the trick and not the other pieces you were mentioning
Great Video. Just ordered for a 2014 Jeep Patriot. Sway bar measured the same size. 19mm. Had to use the Avenger heading to find the 19mm bushings. Thanks for the hack on that.
Thanks! Going to be doing this soon and the19mm tip is great help. While it probably does not matter at all because of the clamp, "I read" somewhere that the force applied to these bushings is mostly towards the front and up. Therefore, it "might" be better to put the open bushing seam towards the bottom. Can't hurt, debatable if it helps.
nice.. I'm about to do this to my 2014 patriot. I replaced the "upper" control arms as they had a ton of slop and noise, then I noticed the massive gap in the sway bar bushings which is the cause for the dry squeaaaky noise that only happens in warmer weather.
It appears the bracket had a hole for a zerk fitting and that the original bushing had the relief cut to line up with the zerk fitting. I would look to replace the brackets with the proper zerk fitting location as to make periodic greasing easier.
Man lol. I thought I was in for new shocks . I'm glad I found your video lol awesome

Good info. Thank you for sharing!
just a heads up, if youre dealing with these cars in the rust belt... it may very well be ALL of the bushings in the rear end. they sell master kits!

Did your squeaking go away?
@@theblackbutterflyconnect4505 Did it go away for you?
@@jason7078 i got a couple things fixed and it did
Thank you for making this video, great help.
Mechanic tried to sell me new shocks. I was able to buy all the tools I needed (and some I didn't) and do it myself and it still cost less.
Thank you
The rear is moog 200214 the front is 200 216 just did mine and they fit perfectly
How much did the new bushings reduce body roll, did it improve handling? The mk suspensions are too weak and need upgrades like this.
If the sway bar itself is rusty do you recommend replacing
shoot!! should of watched the vid first before ordering the 14 mm instead of 19 mm. Thanks for the info, very helpful : )

beautiful saab btw
I put the opening slot on mine on the bottom because of water and debris gets in it can drip out
Why not spray with rust converter?
Probably the better route to go using actual rust converter. I just used what I had at the time and figured it's better than nothing at all
Should end links and sway bar be loose?
No
Same problem with all makes
