2009 Ford Crown Victoria Sway Bar Link Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to service and repair the rear suspension sway bar link on 2009 Ford Crown Victoria?

  A: The rear suspension sway bar link requires new fasteners which either have the original part number or an equal substitute because suspension fasteners are vital elements for system and component performance. Using the exact torque specifications when rebuilding will maintain correct clamp force and every fastener must face the same direction as the original setup. Before starting any work on the stabilization system, its fire suppression system must be depowered because improper operation can lead to injury. Position the vehicle in NEUTRAL gear on a hoist then remove and discard both lower sway bar link nuts, their washers, and bushings. Install the new nuts while using torque to a value of 20 Nm (177 lb-in). Proceed by taking out the two upper sway bar link nuts along with washers and bushings and links from the sway bar links. Discard the nuts before installing new ones that reach a torque of 20 Nm (177 lb-in). You should remove first the sway bar bracket bolts and the two brackets and finally the sway bar while throwing away the bracket bolts to install new sway bar bolts at 30 Nm (22 lb-ft). To complete the installation process, the fire suppression system requires a repower procedure following all safety rules and warnings to avoid life-threatening personal injury. The complete parts reinstallation should follow the backward order of component replacement.
