How to service and repair the front sway bar link on 2005 Ford Mustang?

Start the front sway bar link servicing and repair process by placing the vehicle in NEUTRAL position on a hoist and then removing the wheel assemblies. The hex-holding feature serves as an important tool for sway bar link nut operations because it protects studs from turning and prevents boot seal twisting during installation and removal tasks. Follow these steps to tighten the lower nut to 115 Nm (85 ft. lbs.) while discarding it for disposal. After disconnecting the link from the sway bar, you need to prevent the studs from turning through the use of hex-holding features as you remove the upper nut that you must also discard. After directing the first 115 Nm of torque into the upper sway bar nut, you should disconnect the link from the strut. The installation requires performing the procedure in reverse order by replacing the sway bar link nuts with new ones. Major service expenses become avoidable when you keep in mind that suspension fasteners serve as critical components and need installation of new parts with the same part number or equivalent parts. The correct retention of these parts depends on following the specified torque values during reassembly.
