Hi all,
Just bought a 98 Chevy K1500 and have replaced most of the front end already (Steering Gear/Pitman/Idler/Tie Rods/Hub/Ball Joints/Rotors/Brakes).
I'm now moving on to the Sway Bar Link and Bar Bushings.
My questions:-
Would appreciate some help on this...thanks.

I'm now moving on to the Sway Bar Link and Bar Bushings.
My questions:-
- Currently the Sway bar at the bottom end (lower control arm) is angled, if I go through the smallish hole in the LCA I cant get a socket in there. Whats the recommendation to get this to work?
- Maybe loosen off the Bar Bushings first?
- Grind them off?
- When I go to put the Bar / Links back in, should I?
- Jack up the LCA or even put the wheels back on?
- Keep the Stabilizer bar loose in the Bar bushings until I get the link snugged up then tighten the Bar bushings?
Would appreciate some help on this...thanks.
