steering stabilizer installation help
i am trying to remove the steering stabilizer on my 2005 super duty. i loosened the bolts, compressed it and removed it from the top mount. for a direct replacement, do i hammer out the lower stud on the drag link and then just use a bolt with the new stabilizer? i dont think this has ever been changed and i hammered it a little and it didnt budge. i just dont want to break anything and make more work.
i know this is supposed to be an easy job.
thanks.

Hit it with some wd-40 or other lubricant if it won't budge. Or you could just keep tapping at it. It should come free. I also wouldnt go with a direct replacement. I personally would go with an inline dual stabilizer. One shock works in reverse of the other. Rough country makes a nice one for $100.

You got it out.....but as mentioned, a lot of times just tapping the drag link will dislodge the taper.
