MOOG K80222 Suspension Stabilizer Bar Bushing Kit for Ford E-350 Super Duty

Excellent Product. I replaced all the sway bar bushings and it makes a noticeable difference in the steering and responsiveness. If you are removing the original steel sleeved bushings spray them with a little PB Baster and let it set. To remove use an air hammer with a chisel attachment and they literally pop/fly out. To install, skim the new bushing with a little wheel grease and use a large C Clamp and a small block of wood. They pop right in. The WHEEL GREASE is the trick. Spray lube/WD40 does not work. Put a dab of grease on the sway bar end and it will slide into the bushing with ease. Do it this way and its a 30 minute Job.

these are awesome, get silicone lube for install, when slipping them into place use a washer a bolt and creativity to pull it thru the hole, pushing wont do. can pry on lower arm to pull thru

These are meant to be used with the metal sleeve removed and do a great job when installed properly. I reccomend using an air hammer with a flat bit to remove the old sleeve. Only took about 5 minutes each to knock out. Clean & lube the hole well then press in with nut & bolt with 2 large washers.

I dreaded changing these as everyone said they were a PITA. Drenched the old ones in PB Blaster, Bought a $10 air chisel from harbor freight, wasn't strong enough to do the job by itself so I cut through the old metal sleeve with a reciprocating saw in two places and then used the air chisel and they just popped out.You dont need to drop the steering linkage you can remove the sway bar if you take out the passengers side first and then the drivers side.A bit of water based lube, a bolt, two washers and a couple hits from the hammer once you tighten the bolt and they popped right in.Use water based lube to put these in since the water evaporates and will no longer be a lubricant do not use grease as you run the risk of these coming out, you can use silicone grease on the sway bar ends to help insert them into the bushings and prevent any premature wear.

Not an easy replacement I ended up using a saw to cut out the old metal sleeves for the factory bushings. These pop right in and work great highly recommend.

Got rid of a nasty knocking sound. You can put them into place with a simple 1/2" 5/8" bolt and big washers.

Installing these was about as much fun as the week after giving your wife an STD.There’s many videos on how to install these on YouTube. I finally used the bolt and washers method. A big C clamp like the instructions said was useless.Don’t make the mistake I made and insert the bolt from the back. When your installing, there’s plenty of room to insert the bolt. However after the part is in, there’s no play for the bolt to move around the shock bolt coming out. I had to remove my first one and put the bolt in from the front. I should have seen that coming.I’m going to figure out something else to use on the back rather than a flat washer. It’s great on the front, but the part is longer than the old housing so a flat washer stops it before it’s completely in. I had to take a large socket and pound it the rest of the way in.Installing the stabilizer bar into the new bushings was fun too. I took a high lift jack and held the front up. I then hooked a ratchet strap to the transmission mount and then to the bar. I used the strap to apply pressure. I inserted the front bolt that goes into the front stabilizer bar mount and used that as a pry point to push the stabilizer bar into the rear bushings. That worked really well. Just be careful how deep you go because you can go passed your mark.Use dielectric grease to lube the hole and the bushing before you start. The bushing needs to be tapered more to help line it up going in the hole. I had to take a screwdriver and tap the edges in some to get them started.Once it went in straight, it was easy. Like everything else, when I do it again, I’m be much faster.I want to add that one my next van I installed the MOOG bushing where I had to punch out the old bushing completely. I have to say I like the snugness of these bushings compared to the MOOG. These were extremely tight. I had to use a ratchet strap to pull the stabilizer bar into them. The MOOG are sloppy with room to move the bar around in them. It surprised me having just dealt with these. If I had it to do over or if I ever do it again, I’ll use these.

Not fun to remove. By lifting the frame, and lowering the wheels, I could get a good approach. I used a slide hammer I rented for free from the auto parts store. It was a "full kit" box with all the options. 1st thru the hole, from the back. Then from the front with the hammer puller fingers. Installing, I used a threaded bolt, nuts, and large washers, to press it in. Use plenty of silicone lube. It fit well, and the sway bar fit into it well, too.

Should be better now, hardest part was getting the old ones out. These went in super easy. Recommend to change the main bushings as well as u already have it all apart to do these.
