Hello everyone and Merry Christmas I have a 2004 F150 supercab 5.4 4x4. I need to replace the stabilizer link/swaybar links. I have already bought the parts from rock auto.(2 moog links) My question is do I really need a torque wrench to replace these items like it says in the factory repair manual? Thank you in advance....

 

you should always torque the bolts to there required specs, but i usually hammer them pretty good with an impact and that is always sufficient. Remember to do it again after about 1k miles.

 

Thanks for the quick response!!! When I grow up, I want to be a senior member too......
