ACDelco Advantage 46G0012A Front Suspension Stabilizer Bar Link Kit with Hardware

Although the components appear to be of good quality, they are difficult to install. To get the access hole in the lower control arm to line up with the access hole in the stabilizer bar, you must jack up the lower control arm and manipulate the stabilizer bar. They have a lovely gold and gleaming appearance. Unfortunately, I'd have to run someone over in order for them to notice me. Me- "Hey man, I apologize for running you over; are you okay?" "some dude- "You broke both of my legs, and I believe you fractured my skull, but wow, those stabilizer bar links are really nice!".

It's very well made, as you'd expect from AC Delco, and it's made in the United States, so you know it's good. I had a wobble on the freeway that wouldn't go away even after I bought new shocks, inner and outer tie rods, pitman arm, and still had the same problem until I changed the sway bar links; if your truck has 200,000 miles or more on it and you haven't changed them yet, you should definitely do so. If you're not mechanically inclined, they'll be difficult to install and will require the assistance of a second person to pull down on the sway bar while you do so. Take a look at how far my old ones had been pushed down.

This was a difficult task. On a 2001 Chevy Silverado regular cab 4, replacing the ignition switch was a pain. Vortec 3 liters It was simple to remove the old ones, but it was a different story when I tried to reinstall the new ones. Why can't they just lengthen the bolts by a tenth of an inch? After installing all of the new rubber bushings, the long bolts that go inside the links don't protrude far enough to begin threading the nut. Compressing the bushings to the point where the bolt could be started was a real pain. I accomplished this by loosening the stabilizer bar and spraying the new bushings with pb blaster to aid in their sliding. Then I moved the stabilizer bar just enough "each side just right" so that I could stick my finger through the bottom. Just enough to push the bolt upwards. When the first thread began to emerge, I felt relieved. finally . Just be aware that this is a particularly aggravating aspect of the installation process. in addition to that They've been installed, "which is a big THAT. " it's fantastic You can't go wrong with Amazon's price on these.

For my GM vehicles, AC Delco is a must. This is a genuine AC Delco part made in the United States, as indicated by the stamp on the bushing material. Because the new bushings must be compressed slightly to give you enough threads to install the nut, you'll have to use some ingenuity to install them. The nut is locking, but it isn't the typical locking nut made of nylon. I used a 12 inch circular piece of wood stock to keep the mounting bolt secure in the lower control arm while compressing the bushings and giving myself enough threads for the nuts with a pry bar on the top of the sway bar; I also cut the old ones off to save time and bleeding knuckles.

Wrong size, but it appears to be a decent product; I'm not convinced it's an ACDelco product, but the hardware appears to be sturdy. enough, the price was reasonable, and it's not like it's a high-end restaurant or anything. The suspension's most technologically advanced component. br>My only complaints are (a) that I would expect a complete kit to include the frame bushings (why would anyone replace the end-of-arm bushings? ), and (b) that I would expect a complete kit to include the end-of-arm bushings (why would anyone replace the end-of-arm Without also replacing the frame bushings, is it possible to replace the links? ), despite the fact that I was aware at the time of ordering that this kit did not include them; Moreover, the kit I received DID NOT FIT THE TRUCK FOR WHICH IT WAS ORDERED. Bolts and spacers are required. The sleeves that came with the kit were far too long for this truck, and they could have gotten caught in the tie-downs. rod ends. As a result, I'll have to re-write everything. make use of an old, battered pair of shoes. replacement of bolts and nuts, as well as new bushings and containment- washers. So, for the price of an entire kit, I essentially just bought some overly-abundantly-abundantly-abundantly-abundantly- plain and costly Bushings made of rubber. Not cool.

That's to be expected when buying low-cost automotive parts, but I was taken aback when these stabilizer links arrived with "Made in U. S. A. " written on them. " written on the box! These connections are of excellent quality. Aside from the low price, there's also the fact that it's a great deal. The cost of a single Moog stabilizer link is higher than the cost of the two included in this kit. br>br>On a 1989 GMC Sierra K1500, these stabilizer links were installed. The nut needed to be tightened to 13 ft, according to ALLDATA. lbs.

Installing these can be a hassle. br>br>The key is to lower the vehicle to the point where the weight is distributed evenly across the tires and the suspension is compressed. Wrap a ratchet strap around the sway bar and the lower A arm. Bring the sway bar's end down by tightening the ratchet strap. While getting the nut started, a dab of grease on the metal plate keeps it in place against the bushing. To help lower and move the sway bar, it's sometimes necessary to loosen the sway bar mounts.

Fits perfectly and appears to be of higher quality than the original. On a 1996 k1500 z71, I installed the system. The overall quality of the ride has improved dramatically. I was able to save a few dollars by purchasing one that was damaged in the box. I figured, what the hell, I'll give it a shot. So the box was a little beat up, but all of the parts were still there, so go for used if you want to save a few bucks!.
