Good video -- BUT -- Sway bar bushing was installed backwards -- crack goes to the BACK!
End Link nut was installed up-side-down. That's a NY-LOK nut, and it is always installed with the rounded part toward the end of the bolt. After completing sway-bar installs/upgrades on several types of vehicles, I've found that Energy Suspension has the best selection of top-quality Urethane components for both street and racing applications.

I bought this '02 Ford Ranger a few months ago. It squeaks a lot when I drive, when I go over a speed bumps, or holes, even when I sit in the drivers seat. I was planning to do a complete suspension overhaul. After watching this video I now think it is the sway bay and bushings. If true that will save me money in the short term. Eventually I will overhaul other suspension areas. Thank Mr. Chris Fix.

Hey Chris I just bought the front sway bar links, because my driver side was missing them. The car shakes like crazy going from 55 mph to slower fast. I own a 95 Jeep Grand Cherokee and was wondering if I should do your first step or the second?

IMO 1 use black latex gloves so you don't get cancer causing chemicals in your skin
2 use a DeWalt makita etc electric drill to tighten loosen nuts real quickly
3 also a torque wrench for proper tightening.
Great videos though

Man your videos are always to the point and very easy to understand. This will be yet another repair that a non-car guy like myself feels 100% confident in doing after watching your tutorial.

Are there any bush compressors? i cant quite get the nut on the bolt because my
bushings are just a tiny bit thick. I am not strong enough to compress it with my bare hands.

You make this look so easy! My car is having some clunky noises on uneven surfaces and instead of taking it to the shop I think I'm just going to repair it myself. Thanks!

Those blue bushings are harder and don't have grease pockets inside, may look cool but are rubbish man, me thinks you'd have better put back the old ones my friend.
