In this video we cover the front sway bar links that are often a cause of a rattle complaint on many different makes and models. This is not always the cause of the rattles but it is something that should be checked along with control arm bushings, sway bar bushings, ball joints, struts etc… –Enjoy!

Still MOOG?
You described the situation exactly. I have changed control arms and struts and tie rods but neglected to change out these links.
Bring Hannah back!
6 years later, she should be long out of school by now; wonder how she's doing in her field or maybe chose a different path?
Nice way to blame wrong direction on the person handing you the tool.
Alec Baldwin much?😳
How is Hana doing in her nursing career?
Great work
Are greasable sway links better than non-greasable?
In my case it's a bad balljoint.
Perfect looking rotor crappy looking brake caliper.
I have a 2009 Cadillac cts v, I've changed the front strut, upper and lower control arm bushings and ball joints and also replaced the sway bar end links, I still hear a rattle/clunking. what else could it be?
Can i have your hat? Im a huge fan 😅
Hi I have a question I replaced most of my front end suspension on my corolla except my shocks and springs and I still hear a rattle noise do you think that could be ?
Bye Ms Hannah! We will miss you!
She's gotta be your niece!
I chased a noise on a Camry once and it ended up being a bad dampner inside the steering column that goes between two gears. I've also had steering shafts from the steering column to the rack have play
She’s being like Wilson on Home Improvement 😂
Sure miss Hannah, but wish her every success.
I just got a front wheel bearing replaced and after getting the car back, there was a NEW Noise !!!! Very annoying clunk sound at lower speeds. Honda Accord. Probably will need to go to a different shop to ask them about sway bar links
Thanks as always.
Five years late hope your doing well in the new job🫡👌
Still missing you Hannah! What a sweetheart. If it wasn't for that damn Jeep hat I probably would have stopped watching Eric but I'm still here. Hope your doing well!
Wow, I think this might. R what I was looking for
Nice video
Thank you very much, learned alot about swaybars. South africa, rustenburg
nursing is a noble profession best of success.
Buddy what do you have to say abt lousy so called mechanics who suggest changing the whole control arm when the stabilizer link is knocked off bumping on to something on that stupid road?!
dont be so hard on her we all have to learn fella
Good luck Hannah! ðŸ‘
Eurotrash??? Hahaha. Don't. Good cars when they are not breaking
Nice video bro; i have a honda accord 98 lx and my car does one(1) of the 2 things in my front end suspension that you mentioned/diagnosed(professionally)
1) rattling over any uneven surface
2) wheel feel like its about to come off when its say positioned 25-45^° clockwise and i accelerate; similar to how a car with a whopped( oval shaped) tire would exhibit.
If you could do a vid diagnosing ball joints that would be great! Subbed ~
I totally agree with everything said here but I have never seen anyone grease those fittings and then they wear out anyways.
The noise I get is on full right lock turns – it sounds like a crackling/popping sound… no noise on bumps or any other time. Not sure if it is sway bar link, sway bar bushing or suspension strut… so hard to tell! I should add the CV axles are new and the sound was present before and after there replacement.
My college professor once told me, "Not everyone knows that. We should never assume people know what you know." Information is always valuable to someone. Thanks for the video.
