2002 Ford Mustang Sway Bar Link Parts Q&A

• Q: How to service and repair the rear sway bar link on 2002 Ford Mustang?

  A: You should start service or repair of the rear sway bar link by hoisting the vehicle to gain access. Featuring among the essential system components are suspension fasteners which determine vital system functioning and their breakdown leads to expensive maintenance expenses. According to the maintenance requirements, all fasteners requiring replacement must use a new part with the same part number followed by necessary match substitutions that duplicate original finish and property class. Make sure to follow the required torque values when reconstructing the components to achieve necessary retention. Before releasing nuts that hold the sway bar links, the hex holding feature allows users to secure the sway bar link ball joint from rotation while removing the nuts. The inspector must discard the nuts after they remove them from the sway bar links. The sway bar links require new nuts during installation because their existing nuts have torque prevailing characteristics. After tightening the nuts sufficiently, start the installation by setting the context again using the hex holding feature to stop the ball joint from rotation before torquing with a socket wrench. The installation procedure needs to be performed in the opposite sequence to removal steps.
