Sway bar links connect the sway bar (stabilizer bar) to other suspension components. They have a movable joint that can be damaged or wear out over time. When that happens, the joints get loose, and rattle. This video shows you how to install new TRQ sway bar links on your 2007-14 Chevy Silverado.

Should this be done when the suspension is load or unloaded… or dose it matter?

Odd, I never replaced sway bar links, that wasn't broken already.

you put the anti seize everywhere except where it should be. Totally missed the part of the bolt where the nut threads on (The most important)

I just installed mine. The manual has sway bar links at 17 ft lbs and sway bar bushings at 37 ft lbs. Best to just start the upper nut on one side so you don't have to lift (with crowbar) sway bar on other side to install inner top bushing on link.

Question before you did everything you lifted truck? With a jack or not until you took everything off first?

I did the wedge style leveling kit on my 08 Silverado years ago. Are you supposed to put in a taller end link then?
