Thanks for all the information. You have convinced me not to do this job myself and take my Camry to a mechanic.

great job!video!...so the original camry links have the hex nut, correct, i am anticpating a nitemare removal if all the after market new links sold have the actual hex nut on the back?? thanks...

The hex drives immediately stripped out on my old end links on top of the rust and I had to resort to cutting them off with an angle grinder. My new 1A Auto end links luckily had an actual hex nut on the back you could put a second wrench onto for installation and removal. And they were much thicker and more robust than my old stock end links as well. Very satisfied with them.

55 foot pound for the stabilizer link and 76 foot pound for the tire. Thank you for the torque specs. Great video.

Great Video. It's because of this video I bought the struts and sway bar links. I will attempt to do this job on my 2010 Toyota Camry.

Starting out with a rust penetrant and a burb gun usually cracks it loose. Failing that, braise it with a torch. If it's taking longer than 10 min's to remove, it's not being done right.

Using a vise grip to counter turn it worked for me. The older sway bars do not have the hex counter turn design but good to know the new ones do.

Is it safe to use an impact wrench on that sway bar link nut?

Hi, I have a 2011 venza, I try to replace the link, the top side of the link that attached to the strut is easy to remove. but the lower side that connected to the sway bar is a pain, it seems that the link is screwed in the sway bar,

I know how to get it off, but I'm gonna waste a bunch of time trying other ways like this guy did... great tutorial 🤣👍

2006 Solara 3.3 SLE... so I just did mine including end links and struts... i was freaked out at some of the vids but let me say it was NO WHERE as difficult as people have posted. I did mine from underneath but ONE side at a time (why? I live on 3 acres and if ANYTHING happened such as a jack stand/jack failure its RIP me)- from underneath i had full access to the mid section bushings... yes space is tight but i did it with a 1/4 drive for the easy access bolt and a 12mm combo wrench from underneath.... at one point the only thing connected was the UNJACKED end link. As I was also doing the struts when I was done with the jacked side completely including installed mid section bushing I went to the other side- passenger side.. the bolt closest to the front is a little easier to access from underneath when tightening with a 1/4" drive. IF I had someone at the house for sure jacking BOTH sides would have been easier but not by a lot as from underneath you can really do almost ALL. I hope this helps. IF I ever have to do this again its a 45 min repair. i hope this helps... i got a few short vids but it really wasnt so difficult to warrant any pics or vids

Excellent videos by these guys. Even got the torque values correct!

[bobwilex]

Is it possible to just use a nut breaker tool on the sway bar nut and then use a pin punch to hit the spindle out of the hole? Question because I’m doing this job in 2 days

[rd-truth]

A+ with attention to small details that would catch up many novice people. And I do shop with your company

[josephgarcia]

Should loc-tite be placed on the bolt for the stabilizer link? How about a new stabilizer link with a grease fitting?

I hope the 15 dislikes are from people who knows about cars.

Thanks for letting me know I need to watch another video

[AluminumHaste]

Thanks for the tip with the vice grips on the back, but have you tried using the vice grips with a hammer drill?

Argh, I wished I found this video last week and order the sway bar links from A1 AUTO as I like the way they have the fixed nut in the back for you to use a wrench on it to tighten and loosen it. I hate that hex stud that always stripped :(. Oh, well... next car I will get them from 1A AUTO.
