2006-11 Honda Civic Front Driver & Passenger Side 2 Piece Sway Bar Link Set TRQ PSA55864

Hi, I’m Mike from 1A Auto. We’ve been selling auto parts for over 30 years!

With the vehicle on the ground, I'm going to use a 19mm socket and a breaker bar to loosen the lug nuts. With those bolts loosened, I'm going to raise and support the vehicle. With the lug nuts loosened, I should be able to use just the socket to finish removing them. With that last lug nut removed, I can take the wheel off.

With our wheel off, we can get to the sway bar link. It's bolted to the bottom of the control arm here, and the sway bar on the top. I'm going to use a wire brush to knock off some of the rust and dirt. Help this nut spin off of here. I'm also going to spray these with some rust penetrant. Use a 14mm box wrench, break these free first. That's just turning, but I know it'll spin. Do the same to this one. So those are spinning, because this is basically a little ball joint, so I need to take a 5mm Allen key and hold it. Both are going to be the same way. So they go in here like this. And we use our wrench to loosen it and hold it with this.

To get the 5mm Allen key into the top part of the sway bar link, doesn't quite line up evenly, it's at an angle. We're going to use this floor jack to lift up on the suspension arm. It's going to level it out. Before I do that, I have to put the box wrench on here. Put this on the breaker bar, wrench is in. Hold it and loosen it. If it starts to get harder, stop, spray some more rust penetrant, try to take your wire brush, and clean up some of the threads.

Now we're going to turn the nut back on like we're tightening it. You don't have to tighten it all the way back down. Spray some more rust penetrant, and clean the threads up a little more with the wire brush. Just slowly, but surely, working the nut off of there. Now I have that sway bar link loose, and nut off, I'm going to take the tension off this, just lowering the jack. So that'll come right out. So, both sides will be identical to this, so now I'm going to go after this lower one. I'm going to get this box wrench on here first, put the Allen key in here so I can counter hold it. There it is. That's the sway bar link.

Here's our original sway bar link out of the vehicle. This is our brand new one from 1AAuto.com. It's the same style design. These are left and right, when you go to install them. It comes with new locking nuts. This should fit in here and work great for us.

Take our new one, and slide it up in here. Capture the top nut, and you might have to push this up and in, just like that. These are 17mm, so use the 17mm box wrench to tighten them up. Once it starts to spin with the lock part, so it's turning the stud on the ball joint here, grab our 5mm Allen key again to counter-hold it and tighten this up. Just bring it down nice and snug. Going to do the same for the top. This ones actually tightening without turning the sway bar link on the stud. Let's get it nice and tightened down. Sway bar link is installed.

Reinstall the wheel. Thread the lug nuts on by hand. I'm just going to snug them down. And when I put the car on the ground, I will torque them. I'm going to torque the lug nuts to 80 foot pounds. And then you want to cross pattern.
