Q: How to Properly Install Sway Bar Bushing on a Ford Escape?
A: Service starts with putting the vehicle in NEUTRAL position and hoisting it before performing any work on the sway bar bushing. Secure the two sway bar bolt by tightening them to 70 Nm (52 ft. lbs.) after bracket installation. The sway bar bushing should be checked for wear and tear as a new part needs to be installed if such wear occurs. The installation ends through the reverse process where you align the bushings with proper orientation to match the flanges' upward position and splits facing forward.
Q: How to service the front sway bar bushing on Ford Thunderbird?
A: Service of the front sway bar bushing starts by removing both tires and wheels. The service requires removal of pushpins together with four bolts and both shields then the shield bolts. After releasing the necessary bolts securing the heater water valve and bracket, you can position them aside so you can remove the bolts alongside sway bar brackets. Install the new bushings properly on the bar while securing them tightly and then fasten the brackets for reassembly. Apply bracket bolts by rotating them between sides until the bracket reaches the crossmember position while preventing contact between oil and bushings and bar then brackets. Follow the removal steps in reverse order while following the torque guidelines exactly and replace all parts with similar numbers which preserve both quality and operational performance.
Q: How to Service the Sway Bar Bushing on Ford Mustang?
A: Service procedures for the sway bar bushing should begin with raising the vehicle to a hoist and removing all wheel and tire assemblies. The front sway bar (5482) links (5K483) should be disconnected by removing their bushings and nuts followed by throwing out the nuts while rotating the sway bar to release the links. The service starts by taking away nuts before you remove the sway bar bracket (5486) and sway bar mounting bracket adapter (5B482). Cut the sway bar insulators (5493) which are attached to the bar. Before installation, users should apply Rubber Suspension Insulator Lube E25Y-19553-A or an equivalent product which meets Ford specification ESF-M99B112-A to all components of the front sway bar as well as the sway bar bushing internal diameter. Reverse the removal steps to carry out the installation using parts with the same number or equivalent alternatives accompanied by correct torque rates while reassembling all components.
