Changing my front sway bar end links this weekend. Is this procedure done with wheels on the ground or lifted? Tks

Wheels on the ground and straight. Tighten OEM replacements 18-21 ft/lbs or Moog stem type 10-12 ft/lbs. until the bushings slightly bulge, (K7275)

Either, but easier to align the bolts with wheels on the ground as the anti-sway bar will be level with respect to the lower control arm. Try to get the vehicle sitting level side-to-side, so there is little pressure on the anti-sway bar. Makes it easier.

In case you are unsure, this is a two-beer job at most. Might want to plan accordingly a post task BBQ for the rest of that beer.

I cut mine off with sawsall through the bushing to make the job easier.
Check back links as well last time I did rear brakes they where very loose, still there but lots of play in them.
