  Q: How to replace the rear sway bar link on Chevrolet Avalanche 2500?

  A:

  A technician should start by lifting the vehicle while maintaining it in position to begin replacing the rear sway bar link. Begin the installation by removing the sway bar link nut and bolt that secure the frame bracket before extracting the sway bar link nut from the ball stud then the sway bar link. During sway bar link installation you should start with mounting this component then tighten the lower link nut until the inner jam nut touches the ball stud bottom. The sway bar link nut must be installed to the ball stud after performing the required steps according to the Fastener Notice in Service Precautions. Quality installation requires a final step to add and secure the sway bar link nut and bolt between the frame bracket while torqueing the link to frame bracket nut to 65 Nm (48 ft. lbs.) and the ball stud to sway bar nut to 65 Nm (48 ft. lbs.). The vehicle then needs to be lowered to floor.

  Q: How to replace the front sway bar link on Chevrolet Avalanche 2500?

  A:

  The first step to change the sway bar link begins with vehicle suspension. The procedure starts by removing the sway bar nut from the link bolt then moving on to extract the sway bar link bolt and finally removing the sway bar link insulators and spacers. The inspection must include examination of all parts for signs of damage and wear. You should start installation by positioning the sway bar link insulators and spacers before setting the sway bar link bolts. Tighten the sway bar nut on the link bolt up to 10 Nm (89 inch lbs.) before it reaches a point where 2-4 threads extend above the nut. End the process by taking out the safety stands then lowering the vehicle.
