    Sway Bar End Lik Replacement

    All:
    I will be replacing my front sway bar end links with LEMFORDER end links this Friday. My symptoms are clunking sound from drivers side wheel area on reverse and at low speeds. Looks like a very easy DIY, however, does anyone out there know the torque values for the 16mm end bar link bolts?

    Yes. As long as you've eliminated CABs as a suspect.

    Roll slowly forward and then stab the brakes. If you get a clunk, then it might be the CABs.

    I replaced the CABs in August with the Meyle HDs. This clunking at low speeds just started around Thanksgiving. I'm just hoping it is not the control arm, but I doubt it.

    I think its CAB's maybe. The end links only transfer weight from one side of cat to other....in turns.

    Unless of course you can see they've failed.

    Make sure you have a skinny open ended wrench.

    When I've had endlinks fail, it's usually noticeable as a clunking sound when going over bumps as well.

    You're CABs shouldn't be shot already unless one was defective.
