GLK350 REPLACE WORN FRONT SWAY BAR LINKS $518 may 2022
my car went to the dealer for the first time
for three recalls: passenger airbag, engine software, steering bolt
the found a few things to do...one was this sway bar linkage. i had been hearing clunking and assumed a bushing went.
so i was fine with this, did research after agreeing to have the shop do it and could have done it myself.
but they do have a REALLY nice shop, someone has to pay for that... and a vestaboard...which is poorly utilized and should be in my place instead.
ANYWAY, figured i'd post here to maybe save someone some money or at least know what the details are if they have the same issue.
based on video 2 below maybe i dodged a bullet not doing it myself.
