Rear Sway Bar End Link installation? V70-XC70 1998

I have a 1998 V70 AWD with 196K miles on it. One of the rear sway bar end links is broken, and I am wondering if I could ask for advice on installation. I am OK with brakes, oil changes--I even installed a PNP switch--and I have a jack and jack stands.

Is this part what you are talking about?

The only hard part is removing the rusted bolts.

Hi Klaus,

Actually, it's the piece that is not numbered in the schematic; it sticks up from the bar at either end (one of them is near the number 1 in the schematic). Not sure what it is called, but it appears to be a separate part and not integrated with the stabilizer bar. Any thoughts?

OUCH! That is a stanchion stud, and as far as I know they cannot be replaced. A junkyard may have one from a 1998-2000 XC70, but you would have to buy the entire sway bar.

I was wrong; it's the stabilizer link after all.
