Here's a tip to remove the sway bar link if the nut just spins on you . The factory link is held in place by plastic , the light colored back of the ball socket , just use a propane torch and melt it off . If the ball is worn enough the stud will pull right through , if not you can get vicegrips on the ball while you turn the nut with your wrench .

So we watched this video and ordered one from rock auto for like 4.62 or something. Thief Boys would NOT just do one side and wanted 350 before tax. Saved a small fortune and it was one of the easiest repairs I've done. Thanks for the clear video. The only difference on ours is we needed a pry bar to spread the sway bar enough to put the new one on.

Alternascape nice!! Glad you saved some money. It’s not rocket science is it. Just takes time.

Pretty much any time you are working on suspension or brakes whatever you do to one side you should do to the other. Sway bar link you can probably get away with but it’s always a good rule of thumb.

I’ve got a 05 Malibu I’m not sure that’s the problem with mine the steering is fine but just going down the road or hitting bumps it makes a rattling noise

You can rule out the sway bar link by changing them out. If the rattle goes away, then you fixed the problem for $30.

Jesy P. I still don’t know the torque specs. I couldn’t find them on the Internet. I tightened it down real tight and so far I have not had a problem with them. The clunking noise went away though. What type of Grease? Are used my dad‘s grease gun. I don’t know what kind of grease was in there. Remember I’m not a mechanic. Just trying to show that you can do this if I can do this. Go to AutoZone and ask them what kind of grease you should use

To access this area, did you just have to take off the tire or did more parts have to come off?

Just take off the tire. The sway bar is right there.
