Hello everyone,
Had my annual inspection and I need to replace both front Stabilizer Links, I've seen images of the part and it looks like it will be an easy job. I was wondering if anyone has replaced this and could share some knowledge of the best way to approach the job. If you had some images, that would also be great.
thanks,
Robby

Well just to let y'all know, it was a very easy job to change the links... a few snags with not having a power bar to loosen one of the nuts and another one being stripped but besides that it was ok... took about 1 hour each side, without the complications would have probably been a 30 min job each side.

I removed one of the stabilzer links. The threaded part has a socket for a hex key that strips easily. I drove a torq bit into it and it held very well to loosen the nut.
I did not replace the stabilizer link. I don't load my vehicle very heavily or carry a lot of people. I didn't notice much change in corners. I think it is smother over rough city streets and potholes without the stabilizer.
