Wife told me the other day that she kept hearing a noise from the front left tire area on her Explorer. Finally had a chance to look at it today so I pulled off the wheel and started looking around. Sure enough she had completely snapped the sway bar link.
Get online, part is in stock, under $20 lifetime warranty. No big deal right? Go pick up the part then come back to remove the old one. No matter what I did I could not break the bottom bolt loose, impact, breaker bar, penetrating oil, heat up with torch, nothing.
At this point I was getting pissed at it so I broke out the angle grinder, 2 minutes later took it out in pieces.
Every time I work on this truck I appreciate the Mustang more. Parts that actually come apart and aren't seized up with rust are so much nicer to work on.
