How to Install Ford 150 Sway Bars

    • 1). Brace the left rear wheel with two wheel chocks to prevent the F150 from rolling. Lift the front end with a floor jack.

    • 2). Place a jack stand under both sides of the front frame, behind the sway bar brackets. Lower the F150 onto the jack stands with the floor jack.

    • 3). Unbolt both ends of the sway bar from the sway bar links using a socket set. Remove the front bolts in the sway bar brackets using the socket set.

    • 4). Loosen the rear sway bar bracket bolts enough to allow you to slip the sway bar out of the brackets on the front side, where you removed the front bolts. Set the sway bar aside.

    • 5). Slide the new sway bar into the sway bar brackets, making sure not to displace the sway bar bracket bushings. Replace the sway bar bushings if they show signs of excessive wear, such as cracking or deformation.

    • 6). Bolt the ends of the sway bar to the sway bar links in reverse of how you unbolted the links from the old sway bar.

    • 7). Install the front sway bar bracket bolts with the socket set. Tighten the rear sway bar bracket bolts with the socket set.

    • 8). Lift the F150 with the floor jack and remove the jack stands. Lower the truck with the floor jack. Remove the wheel chocks from the back tire.
