The Bmw E34/E32 sway bar links are cheap and should be changed in pairs.
Failure syndromes: clink noise when driving over bumps.
Front
Rachet and 17mm socket + 16mm wrench
Four new self-locking nuts
1. Place the front of the car on jack stands.
2. Remove the wheels.
3. Use the open wrench to block the sway bar link nut and the close end wrench or socket to remove the 17mm nut.
Installation is the revese of removal.
Rear
Rachet and 17mm socket + 17mm wrench
WD 40
Two new self-locking nuts
1. Place the rear of the car on jacks. No need to remove the wheels.
2. Spray the links with lots of WD40 and let sit for awhile.
3. Remove the 17mm nut then remove the sway bar link, it is going to be a little bit hard because it is rusty.
4. The trick to put the new one in place is to remove all the rust (with a flat screw driver or a metal brush), attached to the sway bar where the sway bar link was located.
Installation is the reverse of removal.
Part numbers
All E34s
Front sway bar: 31 35 1 134 582

... valance. I used a screwdriver to help it. 12. Now it's time to remove the wheel, remove only the left rear. Take that one off and you'll be able to remove the sway bar through the wheel well. Work it back to that point of the exhaust and it will slide right out. Ok, maybe not right out, but it is pretty easy. 13. Now it's time to remove the wheel, remove only the left rear.

... located on the right front and right rear suspension. Before proceeding to the next step, you must disconnect the linkage which connects the level sensor to the lower wishbone. Using a 10mm open end wrench to keep the threaded stud from spinning, remove the nut with a 10mm socket. Pull the linkage away from the sensor arm and reinstall the nut a few turns, by hand, so it won't be misplaced. ...
