Shock/Strut replacement or Sway Bar replacement 850 1994

Dan's got a point here.

I just replaced the links on my 94 this weekend. Got Scan-Techs for 25.00 on ebay and they are just held on by two 15mm bolts ea. You have to use a 5/8" wrench on the inside to keep the bolt from spinning. You also need a bottle jack under the suspension arm to get the old part out and the new on in. A long bar of some sort is helpful to get the sway bar back in place to accept the link.

My old ones just sort of flopped around- I also noticed my boots are shot on my tie rod's. They are only 44.00 ea. for Moog's so I'll give that a try in a couple weekends.

I guess on 95's and later you have to replace the whole arm if your ball joints are shot, they are about 100.00 ea. so that would be expensive.

If your car doesn't bounce, I would look at other things.
