in the noise

I am pretty sure the passenger side one should not wiggle back and forth like that! So, I am swapping out both, as the driver side looks poor as well.

Any tips or hints on doing this, it seems pretty straight forward, up on the ramps, drop the belly pan and have at it.

For this job I have invested in a Torque Wrench and Ramps. total about 80 bucks.

Also the kit from blauparts was also about 50bucks, for both sides and the nuts and bolts.

Thanks

If you are just changing the sway bar end link in the front, no need to drop the belly plan. Jack up the car, remove wheels, the link is held in place by 2x 16mm bolt and nuts. You'll need either two 16mm wrenches or one wrench and a socket with ratchet. One tip is SAE 5/8 wrench or socket could work too.

Good point, on the pan, I want to investigate the bushings on the sway bar as well, just to see whats what.
