    Replacing front swaybar endlinks

    Replaced my drivers side front swaybar endlink- just a few pictures to show for it

    Replacement was a beck arnley part. 101-4865 Stock endlinks are a hard plastic surrounded ball/cup with minimally packed grease-easily seen why it could fail beck arnley bits are a full metal ball/cup+grease & appear a much better design.

    Good chance you'll wind up cutting your old endlinks off with a angle grinder/air grinder/etc.

      I couldn't remember if mine came with grease nipples on it or not... either way good job!

      For mine, I just used an impact gun till either the nut came off, or it snapped off and I could just pull the bolt out. I also Never-Siezed the new threads, just in case I ever had to do it again.

        I had to cut the ones off the protege for some reason. That one looks a lot better
        I live my life a quarter pounder at a time. And for those 500 calories or more, I'm free. I need FRIES! Two of them. The big ones. Oh, and I need them tonight. You're lucky the double shot of BBQ sauce didn't blow the seam on your nugget box. There she is, 2 pounds of pure beef. My dad ate it in 9.0 seconds flat. Check it out, it's like this. If I lose, winner takes my happy meal. But if I win, I take the burger and the toy. To some people, that's more important.

                    Man, A lil PB Blaster, and mine came right off. I had to take them off a couple times to redo my Lower control arm bushings, and I need to do it again here soon too... the Passenger side is all oil covered thanks to a leaky valvecover gasket... Darn that KIA VC!!!
