2002 f-250 SD Sway bar end links...

Thanks Dodge Guy... You have been most helpful... Thanks again

I have the packing list right in front of me. I ordered the Mevotech MEV MS40812 and 813. These are for an Excursion, not sure if the SD ones are longer?

Scrap the greasable links. get the ones like the factory with the spherical joints. check out Rock Auto. that`s where I got mine from.

I'm usually pretty good at finding things on the Inet but these Sway Links have totally got me going... I contacted Rock Auto as you suggested and they told me that they had no swaybar endlinks for a 2002 F-250 SD 4WD with Monotube axel?? If you have time, what Part #'s (l/r) did you order.. Sorry to keep bugging you BUT..even the local FoMoCo parts dept is of little help with this telling me the ones I have with zerk fittings SHOULD work and they wont...

That upper bolt on the pass side will not come out unless your remove the bolt in reinforcement. There are 2 bolts under the frame rail right below the big bolt. Remove those 2 and the big bolt and it pivots out along with the reinforcement. I have mine out right now, waiting on the links and bush to show up on wed. Very easy to do.

Just received new links.. As luck would have it they have grease fittings which will not work on the F-250 (5.4l engine).. to close to exhaust manifold.. now have to find links w/o grease fittings..

You can search on YouTube just like google. Just type it in the search bar to find another.

I did replace mine last year. Mine is a diesel, I had plenty of room to reach all bolts. I replaced with the parts from Advanced Auto that had grease zerks on them. I have had to retighten several times, the last time I put red thread locker on them, so far only one has worked loose and I will re-do it with more thread lock liquid and keep my fingers crossed.
Not a hard job, took longer to get the sockets and wrenches together than the actual work.
