    I was fiddling around under my 2008 today, prepping to replace the sway bar end links this weekend, going over what I may need to get the job done and inspecting for anything unexpected. I have a right-angle impact wrench available to me to get the old ones off fairly easily that fits really well everywhere I need to work - and so does my torque wrench. I started thinking that if I can reach everything well by just turning the wheels while on the ground on a level surface...

    Could I reasonably remove and replace the end links without even lifting the car off the ground?

    Make sure you have the Allen key that fits inside the stud at connection point . Look wer nut is attached . Very lil penetrant if needed .
