How hard is it to replace a sway bar link? 850

posted by  someone claiming to be Ray N. on  Tue Jul 23 12:33 CST 2002 [RELATED]

Just a note: On My 98 S70 once the link is off the sway bar moves
up (its like a spring) and no longer will align with the end of the link.
I placed a long wrench (piece of metal pipe would work) under the A-arm
with the top over the sway bar. Push down to position the sway bar
back so it aligns with the link end (so you can bolt it back on).

Above assumes you connct the sway bar end last. Would have same issue
if you replace the bolts on the strut end last and using a pry bar
should still work to line it all up.

Like Sin said, easy job, harder to explain then actually perform.
