I have watched a lot of auto repair videos over the years, and these are definitely one of the best produced. Sue does a fantastic job of explaining what she is doing, and what issues you may run into. The video production is also excellent. Unlike most it clearly shows what is being worked on, doesn't bounce all over the place and doesn't leave you watching the mechanic work in the dark.To Sue and the videographer thank you very much for the excellent tutorial, you are setting the standard..

And I know for us backyard mechanics we know to put the washer in place before the nut on top but for the newbies you might want to include that so you’ve done a wonderful job during the video. I really appreciate you and I love to see more I look forward to seeing more. Thank you.

I love all the content you have for the [2008] Mazda 3. I've used several of the videos so far, and purchased all my parts from 1AAuto. Keep them coming. Thanks.

Thank you so much! Sue does a great job with these tutorials. She makes everything look so easy. I've just recently ordered from 1A and very pleased with my order.

I use the Haynes Repair Manual in conjunction with the tutorial and want to point out just one thing. It's neither a complaint not a critique, simply some additional info. According to the Haynes Manual, the bracket bolts securing the bushings should be torqued to 35 ft lbs & the link nuts torque to 31 ft lbs.

This information is found in the Haynes Repair Manual for the Mazda 3 2004-2011 (red M3 on front cover), chapter 10 - Suspension and steering systems, page 10-2 under header Rear Suspension/Rear stabilizer bar.... bracket bolts & link nuts.

Hopefully I'm not misleading anyone hete, please correct me if so am. Thanks Sue & 1A!!

Love how you have all the shop tools and lift as if us folks at home look up videos so we can do it “your way”. Shoot with your set up I could rebuild the car 😂

I hope you guys do know that you do not torque the endlinks with the vehicle in the air. As a matter of fact you shouldn't be torquing any ball joints in the air...

Anug up the bolts finger tight up on the lift then you put it on the ground and you need to roll the vehicle forwards and then back. Get on the ground and torque them with the suspension in its natural resting position.

Alternatively you can measure the ride height of the vehicle from the center wheel cap to the fender and use a jack with the car on the lift to raise each corner to that pre measured ride height... before torquing the ball joints.

If you torque the ball joints or endlinks in the air you are bring preload on them. Then when you put the weight of the vehicle on the wheels it will twist the ball joints causing early wear, misalignment, and weird driving conditions.

Would you advise replacing the sway bar bushings if you're replacing the sway bar links?

It's great to see a girl, doing mechanics tasks. We need more girls like you in México ;)

Great Video on How To Ms Sue...Thanks from NW Florida

I just got an alignment done on my Mazda and they told me my stabilizer links(same as sway bar links I assume?) are bad and make a slight noise when driving on bumps. They didn't seem too worried about it to tell me I should have them replaced. They were able to do the alignment even still. Will I need to have an alignment done after replacing the sway bar links? And is it still safe to drive till I can get it fixed? Slight nocking noise when going over gutters. Thanks so much for your amazing videos.

Hello I realize that this is an older thread, however I am about to replace the rear stabilizer bars on my 2013 Mazda 3 skyactiv hatchback. My question is is it necessary to remove the tire's if i have full access to both sides of the stabilizer bars? Thank you.
Also great video.
