Hi, I'm Mike from 1A Auto. I hope this how-to video helps you out, and next time you need parts for your vehicle, think of 1AAuto.com. Thanks.
In this video, we're going to show you how to replace a broken or old rear stabilizer link with a new part from 1A Auto. This is a 2003 Honda Civic. It's the same for 2001 to 2005. We show you on one side. It is the same for both sides.
You'll need new sway bar links from 1AAuto.com, 14-17mm socket with ratchet extensions, vice grips, jack and jack stand, and penetrating oil.
Raise and support the vehicle. Remove the rear tire.
The sway bar link is located behind the brake drums or discs on either side of the vehicle. Install vice grips on the back of the sway bar link. Press them against a solid piece to keep the bolt from rotating when you loosen the nut. Use a 14mm socket ratchet to remove the not on the outside edge of the sway bar link. Repeat the steps for the bottom of the link. You may have to re-position the vice grips a few times. Make sure that the inner part of the sway bar link isn't spinning.
If you have heat or torch, it does help to melt out the plastic in the lock nut. Move your sway bar link from the vehicle.
Here we have out old part from our 2003 Honda Civic. Here we have our new part from 1AAuto.com. As you can see, we have the exact same joints, links. These are directional. This is the passenger rear side we have in front of us. It even comes with new nylock hardware.
Sway bar lengths are known to cause clunking sounds or a little bit of an unstable feeling, excessive sway when cornering.
Install your new part into both the mount on the lower control arm and the sway bar before installing your new nuts. Install your vice grips on the opposite side of the sway bar link to keep it from rotating while you install the new nuts. Then we'll be using a 17mm socket and extension to tighten the hardware.
Remove your vice grips. Install them on the top of the sway bar link to keep that from rotating. Tighten it up with your 17mm socket. Remove your vice grips.
Reinstall your tire.
