Im putting the hub back on my car finally, and i cant get the sway bar link to line up...actually the swaybar end itself actually lines up right in the hole for the link...how do i adjust it. i cant get under the other side of the car to losen it up. what to do? no smart as s comments needed, thanks.

If the car is on frame stands, just use a floor jack on the opposite wheel to lift the sway bar into place, by jacking the whole wheel up. I hope I explained that correctly! Hope it helps.

You tlaking about the sway bar end links?

Well, what else do you think he could have meant by "sway bar link?"

MrWilson:

If I'm picturing what you described correctly, your sway bar is too high in comparison with the hole in the spindle. Therefore, jacking the suspension up isn't an option. When I replaced my hub, strut, sway bar link, and tie rod ends on my passenger side I had the same problem. The strut was actually holding up the suspension too much. I had to put everything together, let the car down, and turn on the air ride to let the car jack itself up. Then I pulled the wheel back off and connected the link.

Hope that helped. Good luck.

i hear exactly what your talkin bout...the thing is, i cant get the link to line up so that i can connect it so that it can be moved by the force of the strut.
