Sway bar link questions

[Boinked]

Another lady-wrencher here. I'm still new, though. *waves*

I have my new sway bar disconnects to install this weekend on my '05, and this post gives me hope. Unfortunately, I'm only working with a (beefy) bottle jack and jack stands. Will that be enough for this, or should I just bite the bullet and get a floor jack? I know I want one eventually, but I haven't had to use it quite yet. TIA!

I bought this jack after seeing it on the forums. I love it more then my floorjack. I have ordered a 2nd to so i can do both sides

:wave::thumbup: Hey! Good luck on your 05. I hope parts aren’t as rusty as the ones we were working on. Spraying your bolts with some kroil or knocker loose prior to starting might help. It took more muscle then Amy and I had to get ours to come loose.

All about leverage. Use a breaker bar and some steel pipe.

If you're just doing swaybar end links you dont really need a jack other than maybe trying to get them to line back up if on uneven ground. Tires can stay on the ground.

Great to see some lady Jeepers getting in on the fun! Sway bar links are a good starting place. No jack needed, tires can stay on. Don’t forget that an Allen wrench on the top of the link can help of your ball starts to turn in its socket.
