suspension/struts/coils/shocks replacement

thanks, I'm having a hell of a time disconnecting the swaybar nut and hex combo, I'm afraid to strip the hex hole now...

 

i did buy new ones already, the old ones stripped, i ended up using the breaker bar to loosen it, anyway got one side done. Took from 9am to 1pm lol, now for the other side, hpoefully much faster. I did have to stop and clean out the rust and apply copper antiseize and everything. I had trouble with losening the knuckles nut too, rustlocked pretty hard.

 

hah only took 1 hour and a half on the other one, definitely easier knowing what to expect now. Took it out for test drive so much better now, my passenger right side use to wobble really hard now it stablizes quickly. torqued everything to spec and will check them again in a couple of days. Thanks for the help, I only doubted doing it myself twice this whole procedure hahahha. swaybar links and the knuckle, both issues fixed with my long breaker bar. I would do this again, good learning experience.

 

Yup all is good! Do you know what this part is called? (The boot) my passenger side seems to be broken off?

 

I'm not sure either, what does that control? lateral suspension? or actual movement?
Another picture of the passenger side:


This is the driver's side:



should i replace it or try to tighten it back? What am I suppose to feel when it is brokeN? Thanks!

 

easy job?
