+Texas Chevy, I cannot reply to your comment for some reason so I hope you
see this. I am just starting to use Mevotech parts because I am trying to
find a reliable part manufacturer. They looked really well made, fit great,
have the grease fittings, had good locking bolts, and look great. I just
went offroad with the truck the other day because I wanted to go snorkeling
and the parts worked great. Hosed them off after getting sand and mud all
over them, greased them up and they work perfect. I use to have rattling in
the front end, and now it is gone. Now I have it in the rear only so I will
get those end links replaced. And when I do, I will go with Mevotech again!
The challenge I’ve seen on anti-roll bar drop links is when the sway bar
has them under pressure. To get to an exhaust repair for a catalytic
converter I had to remove my sway bar twice to get the drop links
positioned just so. That system can have a lot of pressure on it to create
the anti-sway.
I anticipate this only being an issue if you are removing the bar at the
same time. This would apply if you had to replace the bushings.
Another mechanic had been in there when a transmission mount went bad. A
bolt had sheared off from an accident at least 120k miles earlier. They had
decided 2 out of 3 bolts was good enough at the time. They were 120k right.
It’s risky to buy a salvage title. All the money I saved 9 years ago got
spent on this repair, lol. Worked out for me. I’ve been through the whole
car now. That’s the only thing that hadn’t been done right.
Sorry, I love to tell stories.
Back on point. When the last mechanic pulled this apart to drop the
transmission enough to get that sheared off bolt out, he didn’t set up the
anti-roll bar quite right.
On my 1999 Chevy Prizm there are tabs that must get set in. It took me a
few hours to figure out. The whole system goes together really easy if you
just put your 17mm bolts on without getting the tabs in right.
What I mean by tabs are these squared washers. If you set their tabs into
the anti-roll bars just right it looks like it should be you have to work
back and forth on each side.
When you do this with the proper torque it sets up the anti roll pressure a
lot higher. Made a very small difference that I could feel when driving
gently, so in reality it probably does a lot.
I just replaced my sway bar couple months ago and because of this video, I
went out and check the bars again. One of the bar rubber piece is ripped, I
guess I have to change both again. And the manufacture u used doesn’t make
sway bars for Japanese cars
Good!
Good stuff Chris, I’m working on getting me some gear wrenches aswell.
good video Bro 🙂 #1
Is it easy ti overfill the grease pocket? Is there an obvious amount of
resistance where you’ll stop?
I have never heard of Mevotech before this video but now I am definitely
going to try them out!
Great tutorials very well explained…thanks for your precious time and
please keep on uploading more videos ,by the way who is this moron who gave
unlike
Your videos not only make everything look easy, but I really think they do
increase everyones confidence level when tackling projects like these.
Great job, yet again (:
Glad to see you went with the Mevotech, very underrated or unknown brand
from Canada IMO. I went with them over the Moog on my 04 F150
@100,000 miles, still on original links. Could not be happier with the
front end improvement on side to side play. While I had them off I replaced
the sway bar bushings as well, that bar is heavier then it looks! Nice work
