    • You can see here the sway bar link where it attaches to the sway bar. It's hidden partially behind the brake shield. It's tricky to take a good picture of...

    • The threaded portion of the link goes through a hole in the sway bar end and is held in place by a nut.

    • At the bottom, it screws in to the hub assembly.

    • View this video to hear what a bad sway bar link sounds like when you move the sway bar around. If yours sounds like this is definitely time to replace it.

    • Remove the nut from the top of the sway bar link using a 17 mm socket to turn off the nut while holding the inside of the sway bar link joint with an open end 17mm wrench.

    • Then use the open end 17mm wrench to loosen the bottom joint of the sway bar from the hub assembly.

    • You'll then be able to remove the sway bar link for inspection. Save the nut and any washers as the new links do not come with replacements.

    • Pictured are example of the joints on the two sway bar links that were removed from this 1985 300D. Each one is split or even missing.

    • You can see how this exposes the joint to moisture, dust, and road debris; this quickly ruins the joint.

    • Watch this video to see how loose the bottom joint on this sway bar link was. It was half of the culprit for the clunking. The other side was just as bad.

    • Install the new sway bar links by following these steps generally in reverse.

    • View this video to hear the difference with new links. Or, perhaps more accurately, not hear anything at all!

To reassemble your device, follow these instructions in reverse order.

You're welcome! This is definitely one of those repairs that are 1) easy and 2) provide a LOT of immediate tangible benefit. It's super annoying driving around with bad sway bar links.

How to get it off the hub assembly in the first place ? do I have to remove the brake disks ? and how much do I need to torque them
