Default Replacing Front Sway Bar Links
I'm replacing them on my '97 wagon. It looks pretty straight forward but hate surprises Besides having the wheels off the ground, is there anything else I need to do?

Thanks!

Not really. The wheel off the ground may make the job tougher. Play with the height to find the sweet spot.

So you don't need to take the weight off the suspension? Just turn the wheel for the most accessible spot?
That would make it even easier

No, Rspi is talking about playing with the jack to find the "sweet spot".

I don't think I took my wheels off, can't really remember. I may have rolled it up on ramps and messed with a jack to get the weight off like Henry said.
