Replaceing front stabilizer bar control link

[otterman91105]

Hey everyone. I have a 2007 ford focus se. Took my car in for an oil change they said stabilizer bar pins were loose. Just wondering how hard they are to change and to tell if they are bad. Any help is great thanks.

Not bad you need a 17 mm wrench and a. 15 mm socket. To tell if they are bad get the front end up in the air and pull down on the links if they clink they are bad. Another way is get in the car, in park and rock the car back and forth with the body if you hear a clunk in the front 90 percent chance its the sway bar links. ( very common issue. Make sure you get the updated nuts too)

I shouldn't assume.

One has to remove the wheel to replace links.

Talk to the dealership about the updated parts (nuts), bring your Vin number.
