2005 Ford Focus Sway Bar Link Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to Service and Repair the Sway Bar Link on 2005 Ford Focus?

  A: First service or repair tasks on sway bar links require you to position the vehicle near curb height then complete suspension loading procedures. When working with a twin post hoist you must apply support to both sides of the lower arm. After selecting neutral gear position you can position the vehicle onto either a hoist and raise it to achieve support. Wash away the sway bar from the rear lower arm then remove the sway bar by spinning two bolts facedown from both sides. You must first detach the sway bar clamp retaining bolts and then the clamps before removing the bushings. Before installing the sway bar bushings users should position them correctly on the bar without adding lubricant while keeping the bushing nipple located on the left-hand side. Insert sway bar bushings onto the bar before attaching sway bar clamps which should be moisturized with water during installation. Begin by mounting the clamps onto the bushings and finishing with sway bar installation through both side bolts before fixing the sway bar to rear lower arms.
