Good video...helps a lot!

Telling what size socket too use helps.

Very good video and easy. Thanks man.

Thank you.

I have a 2006 Sportage and replaced the sway bar links as the first inexpensive fix to get rid of the clunking noises. That didn't help. They needed changing, but it didn't solve the issue. I went on to replace the cross arms, they were worn, but not the problem. I then changed both struts. The top bearing/bushing had lots of play and so I thought that was the culprit. It was my first thought before the rest. That didn't fix it. It improved and I had it aligned. It drives nicely, all new tires, but still clunking. I dropped the tires and disconnected the sway bar links and the problem seems to be the sway bar bushing that holds the sway bar to the frame. Seems like a simple and inexpensive fix. WRONG! The four bolts that hold those bushings are buried between the frame and body. The only way I can see is to drop the subframe in order to access those bolts. I can wiggle the sway bar and see the play and hear the sound as the bar moves inside the bushing. I went to this video and am researching other videos to see if anyone has done this or if there is an easier way to do it. I did this job on my PT Cruiser and had to drop the subframe for the front suspension. Besides being a pain, the PTs are aligned based on the subframe positioning at manufacturing. So it's critical to mark the subframe and reinstall it exactly in the same position or it may not be able to be aligned. Back to researching now and I will upload my results to my KZread channel and place a link here later if it works out.

Sir, could you provide me the full description of both impact tools, really useful thanks

Iv also got Kia Sportage..iv had a knocking noise driver side for about 3 years and the garage cant find the problem..just had a new ball joint fitted and its still knocking(only hrar it when driving slow)

Sway bar bushings. 2 pack, about $15.00 Sway bar links. (what we see in this video) Usually 25 to 50 dollars each. Other possible: Loose power steering rack mounting bolt(s), or loose brake caliper bracket bolt(s), or else bad control arm bushings. Being a Kia. It's possible that all of the above are found, including wheel bearings.

With this Allen key type, you can't put a torque wrench on it?

You don’t have to use a torque wrench for fastening. Absolute not necessary for sway bar links just enough is enough
