Replacing a sway bar link on a Hyundai

Sway bar link replacement on a Hyundai I30 FD 08.

My old links are loose and the new ones are tight. Wasn't sure if that was an accident it or not, but this video answered it. Thanks so much!

Good stuff man, the sound of the tools at work is so satisfying.👍🏾

Do I need to lift the car on both sides? I only raised it from passenger side and it was very tight, couldn't take it of. Any advice, please. Thanks

So you’re not going to torque it under load? Unless your other tire is also on a jack, it’s gonna need replacing in another few months

My new links didn't mind up with the holes. They are the same size.

I removed both nut on sway bar and both top and bottom thread were not level like new part. Both pointing up as if forced. Once I removed it I pulled on the ends and no movement. Stiff as the new sway. Could it be from a pothole or something? Don’t think it’s normal.

Was the new one different to bolt on it look way different when removing

Is there a top and a bottom to the links or does it matter which way the new ones go in?

Can the bushings be replaced alone? It sucks having to buy or waste the link when there's nothing wrong with it.

Am I dumb for asking if you have to take the tire off? Can the car be on the ground?

That ratcheting wrench, is it from Mac tools?
