In case of 2014s models or older ones, detach power steering hose bracket and also remove forward section of exhaust system. If you are working on an all-wheel drive model, make an index mark on driveshaft, disconnect it from transfer case then reposition it. Disconnect sway bar links, Tie Rod Ends and ball joints from their respective components securing harnesses and electrical connectors when necessary. Remove engine roll restrictor heat shield and bolt with making a mark down position of front sub-frame under body at the mounting locations namely; supporting front sub-frame with floor jacks unbolting bolts/nuts from sub-frame support brackets alright lifting sub-frame with jacks about 3 inches lower than that.

  Q: How to remove and install rear Stabilizer bar and bushings on Ford Edge?

  A: Find a hoist or place the car on ramps and safely block it to prevent any accidents or raise the rear of the vehicle as well as secure it with jack stands. The vehicle will not roll off the stands if you block its front wheels. Take off nuts from lower and upper ends of left and right sway bar links, hence removing them. Unscrew nuts that hold sway bar bushing brackets and take away brackets together with sway bar kit. Once you have removed the sway bar kit, check for cracks, wear or deterioration of bushings; replace if necessary. Remove rusts and dirt from around the bushing area of the sway bar kit by brushing it using wire brush. To make it easy when putting back new bushings on new Kit use vegetable oil (used in cooking) to lubricate their exterior/interior surfaces. No petroleum based lubricants, mineral oils, or brake fluids should be used because they will damage the bushings. Installation is basically doing what was done during removal but this time tightening fasteners to torque values.
