Thought sombody was supposed to honk at me if parts fell off??

Can you even get quick disconnects for that setup? What make/model is the vehicle? With the limited amount of off roading you do I'd just get standard replacements.

I have done a little research since posting (why would I research before posting???? ) and now Im kinda wondering the same thing..

it's for a 2000 2500 silverado..

A lot of people go to Ace Hardware and make their own quick disconnects.

yeah I read that too... cant be to difficult.. hmm...

Ok sorry to bring this thread back.. got one of the sway bar endlinks in yesterday, but Im having trouble with the other one.

Seems I cant depress the bushings far enough to get any thread to show out the top to put the nut on there..

any tips?

Jack up that side to compress it.

Get both front wheels off the ground at the same time. Jacking up one side is essentially trying to twist the truck and the swaybar is trying to untwist it.

Easiest way is to have both wheels off the ground with the suspension unloaded

Ok so first off it's kinda of a pain to jack this truck up to let both wheels hang. but thats ok I can do that.

but wouldnt letting the wheels hang, make the distance further from the sway bar? or its because I already have one side hooked up?

By having one side compressed, its forcing the swaybar up on the other side, increasing the distance. When you let that side hang, it will pull both sides of the bar down with it.

If its too much of a bitch because the truck is too high you can try it with both sides on the ground and level. As long as both sides of the suspension are in the same state and the vehicle is level, it should be simple to fit it in there.

Gotcha.. I may try that too. I thought it through yesterday, and it seemed like it was level enough to get it in there..
