I have done a search and found a lot of info on the trouble with the front end sway bar links on my 08 GT. I can not find anything on how to replace the end links. Is there a link on how to replace them? I would think it would be a fairly simple operation..........but the stealership want $ 150 to replace it....so maybe its not that simple!

you may have to buy the metal end link rods that already has the threaded bushing installed on them. Replace the entire unit. It doesn't look like the bushing themselves are serviceable.

It's extremely simple, you must remember that dealership labor is about $100 - $125 per hour depending on where you live.

takes 2 wrenches, an 18mm and a 8mm. The 8mm is used to hold the inner stud from turning, using the 18mm to turn the nut.
Same for both bottom and top stud bolts on the links.

FYI if you're getting ford links make sure you get nuts too... the new redesign sway bar links have fine thread and the stock ones have coarse thread.

Updated part numbers:
End Link: BR3Z 5K483 B
Nut: W712503 S440
please note that when I went to order using these numbers, every OEM online parts store I went to , shown no match for the numbers. Or the nut, but not the end-link. So what do you do? Well when you order the OLD end-link, that part is unavailable now, and you get the new part instead !
( I was notified by email that the part I had ordered had been replaced with part # BR3Z 5K483 B - and did I want the updated part? , and I replied Yes, and best i remember, it was less expensive than the old part1 )
