How to Service and Repair the Front Sway Bar Bushing in the Suspension on Ford Fusion?

The first step for sway bar bushing front suspension maintenance requires users to set the steering wheel at straight-ahead and turn the ignition off. Detach the steering column shaft joint cover bolts at the bottom and pull out the cover assembly. The safety of the clock spring depends on a static steering column shaft because any shaft rotation during disconnection could damage the component. Such damage requires complete removal and centering of the clock spring. Establish an index on the steering column shaft for assembly reference before detaching it from the steering gear using the bolt while maintaining alignment of the marks during reinstall and pulling the bolt to 25 Nm torque (18 lb-ft). The steering column shaft-to-dash seal needs removal before installing the seal onto the steering gear correctly while ensuring all retaining clips are secured to avoid seal damage. To proceed, place the vehicle in neutral position on a hoist system before unscrewing eight mounting screws that allow you to set aside the LH and RH splash shields. Uninstall both splash shields by removing their six pin-type retainers, yet maintain 7 Nm (62 lb-in) torque when reinstalling the parts. Additionally, if an underbody cover shield is present, remove its bolts doing the same torque installation before reinstalling. Discard the old tie-rod end cotter pins and nuts and use fresh parts which should be torqued to 48 Nm (35 lb-ft) before installing newly placed cotter pins. A tie-rod end remover tool should be used to detach both wheel knuckle tie-rod ends with no hammer application, which would protect the components from damage. Discard the two catalytic converter-to-exhaust flexible pipe nuts and divide the exhaust flexible pipe before tightening new nuts to 40 Nm (30 lb-ft) torque setting. All-wheel drive vehicles require driveshaft-to-power transfer unit (PTU) indexing before bolt removal of the four units to set aside the driveshaft for reinstallation at 70 Nm (52 lb-ft). Begin by removing the RH steering gear-to-subframe bolt while making it 107 Nm (79 lb-ft) tight at reinstallation time. Then proceed to remove the two LH steering gear-to-subframe bolts before positioning the steering gear to reach the sway bar LH bracket front nut. Re-torque to 107 Nm (79 lb-ft) when reinstalling. Discard the four sway bar bracket nuts before uninstalling both sway bar brackets. Reinstall the new bracket nuts at 48 Nm (35 lb-ft). Before torquing sway bar bracket nuts, use a suitable jack to raise the suspension until the hub center sits 402 mm (15.83 in) from the fender lip. This will prevent clamp load-induced bushing damage. Perform the reverse of this removal method during installation.

How to Service and Repair the Sway Bar Bushing on Ford Mustang?

The sway bar should be taken out before servicing or repairing its bushing. A light layer of lubricant should be used on the required sway bar parts before the bushing can be slid off. Install the sway bar bushings by applying lubricant to the required front bar parts followed by the bushing interior space before doing the reverse removal steps.

Ford Sway Bar Bushing

If you own Ford and want to keep it in top shape, choosing OEM Sway Bar Bushing is a smart move. They are precisely engineered and follow strict factory standards. They are made in advanced facilities that use cutting edge technology. Each part goes through thorough testing to confirm strength and safety, so you can trust it. FordPartsDeal.com gives you genuine Ford Sway Bar Bushing at some of the affordable online prices without cutting quality. Every OEM Ford part includes the manufacturer's warranty, easy returns, and super-fast delivery. So why wait? Shop now and get your vehicle back to peak condition.

The Ford Sway Bar Bushing tightens the sway bar to ensure that cornering is smoother and more secure. Ever since 1903, Ford has made assembly lines a conglomerate of affordability and unceasing innovation. In 1913, Ford stretched the moving line, cut down the build time, and placed additional drivers on the road. Ford EcoBoost engines are bigger than they should be, and they drink less fuel, which proves that power and thrift can co-exist. Currently, Ford carries SYNC voice technology, Co-Pilot360 aids, and electric trucks, which haul big and produce no noise. The company specializes in intelligent software to ensure that daily driving is both easygoing and without complications. The battery research is accelerating, indicating that the company is not going to sit back and watch the future being fully electrified. Its culture favors radical decisions and does not believe that the work of innovation stops at the showroom. The Sway Bar Bushing also encircles the stabilizer bar and attaches to the chassis with mere brackets and rubber. To even the weight and eliminate excessive roll, the Sway Bar Bushing allows the bar to twist to the right angle when the vehicle is leaning in a turn. Miles and the weather eat through the rubber, and holes begin to appear, and the Sway Bar Bushing is beginning to clang, and the steering is loose. Change of a new Sway Bar Bushing will give the bar back its grip, crisp response, and tires stuck.

A tie-rod end remover tool should be used to detach both wheel knuckle tie-rod ends with no hammer application, which would protect the components from damage. Discard the two catalytic converter-to-exhaust flexible pipe nuts and divide the exhaust flexible pipe before tightening new nuts to 40 Nm (30 lb-ft) torque setting. All-wheel drive vehicles require driveshaft-to-power transfer unit (PTU) indexing before bolt removal of the four units to set aside the driveshaft for reinstallation at 70 Nm (52 lb-ft). Begin by removing the RH steering gear-to-subframe bolt while making it 107 Nm (79 lb-ft) tight at reinstallation time. Then proceed to remove the two LH steering gear-to-subframe bolts before positioning the steering gear to reach the sway bar LH bracket front nut. Re-torque to 107 Nm (79 lb-ft) when reinstalling. Discard the four sway bar bracket nuts before uninstalling both sway bar brackets. Reinstall the new bracket nuts at 48 Nm (35 lb-ft). Before torquing sway bar bracket nuts, use a suitable jack to raise the suspension until the hub center sits 402 mm (15.83 in) from the fender lip. This will prevent clamp load-induced bushing damage. Perform the reverse of this removal method during installation.
