Just replaced sway bars - with photos

Wow, it’s nice to have a vehicle that drives like a luxury car again. No more noise when I drive over bumps. Originally, I thought that my exhaust was loose. The noise was unbelievable. The entire car felt like it was going to fall apart. After reading this forum, I just purchased a set of sway bar links from FCP Groton. They have very fast shipping. The install was so easy, I should have done it months ago. You must take off the wheels. You only need a few tools. An 18mm socket and 18mm wrench made the job very easy. I would advise having a skinny wrench for the install. I did run into a problem at first with a standard wrench. The wire that holds on the rubber boot came off. This was from the wrench being a little too wide. When I tightened the bolt, it pushed the wrench into the boot and knocked off the wire holder that is used to secure the rubber boot so the grease doesn’t escape. Once I repaired the wire, it was very easy to install. Please let me know if anyone has any questions or needs help.
