How to service the front sway bar link on 2005 Ford Thunderbird?

Service of the front sway bar link should start with the vehicle in NEUTRAL position on a hoist system. The use of suspension fasteners requires strict attention because their failure causes substantial service expenses, so only new parts carrying the matching part number must replace them to prevent the use of inferior design alternatives. Adhere to the prescribed torque values while assembling since correct retention depends on them. The torque prevailing design of sway bar nuts requires brand new nuts to be installed before final assembly. Start by using the hex-holding feature to prevent the stud from turning while removing and disposing the nut that links the sway bar link to the lower arm. Disconnect the sway bar link from the suspension lower arm first before securing it by tightening the nut to 55 Nm (41 ft. lbs.). The technician should utilize the hex-holding feature to prevent stud movement before unscrewing the nut from the upper sway bar link and then remove the sway bar link. The service can be finished by using a torque of 41 ft. lbs. (55 Nm) to tighten this nut during installation before following the reverse order of the removal process.
