Ford F2GZ-5482-B Stabilizer Bar

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.
