For a while now my sway bar links have been popping over every little bump so i replaced them. got all the bolts off but they wouldn't separate from the sway bar. I tried beating it with a hammer, tried it with a bigger hammer, and an even bigger hammer with no luck. then tried it with a pickle fork and of course that didn't work. the pickle fork actually separated the joint out of the socket finally ended up using a torch to heat them up and knock em out no more front end popping! pics:
Man I feel your pain on the front end popping noise. Except mine pops because its the upper control arm maxing out constantly from my spacer. But hey when in doubt break out the torch. haha
exactly! crazy how i spend 20 minutes beating it to death then i add a little heat and a tiny little tap makes it fly out
dude those are a ***** to get out lol i beat the shat out of mine for a while. betcha it feels better now when turning though!
oh yeah! coming out of my driveway they used to pop and clunk like crazy and now it feels so much smoother
I used the exact same process on my rear bumper last night. when things aren't cooperating, get a bigger hammer! Haha Sent from my Milestone X using Tapatalk 2
Great job, and thanks for the write up! I haven't had a chance to check mine out. I don't even think mine has grease nipples, or if they do I must have missed them. I haven't had a chance to look under the truck lately due to horrible weather and a lack of a garage. Are those aftermarket links?
