2000 Ford Mustang Sway Bar Link Parts Q&A

• Q: How to Service and Repair the Rear Sway Bar Link on 2000 Ford Mustang?

  A: Service technicians should start their work on rear sway bar links by elevating the vehicle on a hoist. The performance of vital systems depends on suspension fasteners as critical components because their failure can create substantial service expenses. The use of new fasteners always requires identical part numbers so service technicians must substitute components when needed as long as they maintain the original finish elements while retaining original property class specifications. When putting the vehicle components back in place, stick to the officially stated torque values for appropriate fastening. The hex holding feature of the sway bar link ball joint prevents it from turning during the removal process while you loosen the nuts (5C488). Discard the nuts after removal. New nuts should be used to assemble the sway bar links because their nuts have torque prevailing features. When installing new nuts, begin with a firm fit followed by a reuse of the hex holding feature to stop ball joint rotation and conclude by tightening with a torque wrench and socket. You should perform enough steps in reverse order to reinstall the sway bar link ball joint.
