Thanks for watching.
Thank you professor , you are really amazing , great video ..
Hi Jim. I'm back on the road for 7 days so I look forward to my down time and watching quality programming and I'm not talking TV! Thanks for putting out great videos.
+wyattoneable Thank you Wyatt
Hey Jim, I just wanted to thank you for taking the time to make this, and make it accessible to lay people. I'm going to be doing this repair shortly, and the information you provided (bolt sizes, specifically!) was great. I've got a lot of work on my jeep to do, but this is probably the second most important one (There's a bushing completely missing!).
Thank you for watching
Looks like a Rust Belt Jeep! Thanks for telling us what size sockets to use. And for the less informed viewers-- thanks for reminding us to use penetrating oil! Cheers
By far the best video on this particular job, love your work, Jim. Thanks for the upload.
Thank you for watching and your feedback.
NICELY DONE!! Thanks for making this video. Will make my job a LOT more confident.
Great I'm happy to help.Thank you for watching.

No silicone lube for the new bushings required?
Great job and thank you so much for putting it all together for all of us out here to learn from your experience!
God bless you!
I'm happy to help.Thank you for stopping by the shop

+j georges Thank you
Big improvement in the bushings.That small ratchet spanner is a time saver.Job well done.
+Tom OConnor Great happy it went well
As others have said, excellent video Jim. You’ve obviously been doing this for a while so I was wondering if you’ve ever gotten burned out? Thanks for the very clear step by step!
Very useful!
God bless you for using hand tools, lol. I whine like a baby when I can't use an impact or an air ratchet. Great vid.
+Michael Herbert Hi Michael,Ya I hate using hand tool but for my videos I try to only use hand tool because the Do it youselfer only has hand tool.
Good job and info Jim. Thank you.
+The Disgruntled Mechanic Thank you
omg this was amazing great work I like how u see everyday guy tools and not stuff only shops use .. this was exactly what I was looking for you explain and showed how to do it step by step I now feel 100℅ confident I can do this myself and will be doing it nxt weekend thank you I subscribed for more videos thanks in advanced
Thank you for watching and your input.
jimthecarguy alot people are telling me I don't even need em and I should just cut them off they said they have had no problems ..what's your input ?
Thanks Jim.
+Tom Sommer Thank you for watching .I hope they are helpful
Very good Video...very, very helpful....Thank "U"
I will thanks alot
Help me alot w this video. Gracias amigo
Thanks man, very helpful.
Jim. this was great!!! Could excessive front tire wear be part of the symptoms?
Actually the links and bushing will not cause this problem. Did you check the ball joints and tie rod ends? I'm happy to help. Thanks for watching
Well done Jim, new camera?
+Steve Rob Thank you Steve .Yes I love the new camera HD.
Do u have to support the vehicles weight when doing this or can u do it without any Jacks ot stands thanks
I do a live stream on Sunday night on jimthecarguy at 7:00 PM (EST).I will talk about this .I hope you can stop by.
I've just had diagnostic and I've been told it's my left front sway bark link on 2011 jeep grand Cherokee, should i change the right one also? And do i need to do alignment after?
Good question. You can just replace the one that is defective and you don't need to do a wheel alignment after this repair. Thanks for watching. Im happy to help. Don't forget to subscribe.
Thanks
getting that work done today at dealr
I went to do this on my XJ today, and I discovered one of bolts holding the driver side sway bar bushing bracket is spinning freely and not back out at all. Any advice?
Sounds like the welds broke that hold the nut there in place,thats a big problem!
Great video! I think if you bring the body closer to the steering the links will be easier to line up?
Nice job Jim. I think I have sway bar bushings on my E250. When Spring hits I'm rebuilding the FE. Can't wait to try the hammer trick on the ball joints...
Anti seize --- you used it just on the frame bolts, or on all the connections ?
addl - I thought something was different --- HD looks great !
Steve in NC
+steveg5576 Thanks for watching and your feedback.Ya you will need to hit the ball joint pretty hard but it will just pop out.As for the Anti seize you can use it on all the parts.Let me know how you do.
This the same on 03 Jeep Liberty?
Hey Jim changing I'm in the middle of changing the sway bar links. The sleeves are Frozen to the bolt stud. Have you ever had this issue and if so do you have any ideas how to correct it.
Hi thanks a lot for this useful video.
Can I do the same job with the 4 wheels down on the ground or do I need to lift up the car? thanks
is the rear anti sway bar bushings the same size as the front? figured i would go ahead and do both front and rear.
Can you do this without lifting the Jeep
Yes a little difficult but do able.
Noble Paladin yes u can.
Does it matter if the suspension is compressed when dong this ? I have jack stands under my front axle, so the front suspension is compressed. Thanks !
very helpful video! thanks so much. I bought new sway bar links but what is the other bushing called? because I don't have that and need to buy one. thanks
What size are the bolts?
Jim y didn't u remove the tire for clearance.
You could but I was trying to get it done quick and trying to save a step.Thank you for watching and your input.
Thank you ffor taking the time to do the video! Great work! Do have a question though, would it be better to tighten down the link bolts first? - before the sway bar bolts? It just seemed as you were tightening down the links after the sway, the sway bar was being pulled toward the link - maybe tightening down the links first will allow the sway bar to slide to where it needes to go, and then clamp down the bar?/ Don't know, just asking. Thanks again - best video I found..
Is this the front or back?
front
Lmao, I don't think we need to see the light through the bushing, it looked like you could stick your finger right through it lol, man I thought mine were bad.
Yea and the owner said I think my truck is making noise.
Looks like a Rust Belt Jeep! Thanks for telling us what size sockets to use. And for the less informed viewers-- thanks for reminding us to use penetrating oil! Cheers
