i dunno if i would use an impact gun. you risk rounding off the bolt head. i just changed my sway bar itself out last night on my evo. i don’t know what the underside of the eclipse looks like, but they are usually pretty easy to get to with a socket and a breaker bar. sometimes the bolt will spin in the end linkage, in that case i usually just grab the other side of it with some needle nose pliers and hold while you turn. ---

I did this with all of the rusty bolts on my old truck and it worked very good for 90% of the bolts(I ended up snapping off a few manifold bolts that were just too rusted in there). ---

i used the breaker bar for the mounting brackets on the sway bar itself. i wasn’t sure if he was just changing the endlinks, or the entire sway bar assembly. that, and i got a little side tracked in my previous post. 😉 ---
