My rear sway bar links are bent... should I be replacing these or is it not a big deal?

I just noticed this while looking at the rear differential leak I have that I posted about in an earlier post over in the Transmission forum.

Just wanted to find out weather or not this is something I should be fixing?

Thanks

 

they should be replaced

 

 

would this be an easy job for me to do it at home?

also, I was told the new ones will do the same if i would replace them, is there a certain brand or something I should buy so they don't?

 

Yes

Awesome! That should save me a lot of money at the garage!

Thanks!!!

 

As long as you have the correct wrench and socket, it should take you no more then a half hour including time to jack the car and what not... then again some people do move really slow.

Make sure you wait to torque the endlinks until you have the suspension loaded a.k.a. have the weight on the wheels.

can i let the jack down all the way so that all the weight is back on the tire to do that, or should I just let it down part way so that there is just a little weight on the tires?

 

let the jack all the way down then tighten the links. I bout my energy suspension links at autozone here in florida for 18.00 for the front and 18.00 for the rear.

 

Yeah I am heading up to Autozone after work for a few things. I think I may just pick up the rear's because they are the only ones that are bent.
