I broke my swaybar.

[JohnsMyName]

So I hit a really bad pot-hole on Sunday, but aside from a bone jaring thump no problems... untill last night of course. I hit another small pothole (damn Rhode Island roads!!!:fm and started hearing clunk clunk clunk every time the car jostled a little. Sure enough I checked under the car the next morning and the rear right swaybar is hanging down, broken right after the bend where it connects.

So my question is any good brands for replacement, places to buy from, and what I am assuming should be a pritty easy install, wright-ups?

that is a pretty common failure, it happened to my 96 after about 5 yrs, and i have read many others on here that it happened to them too

i just got a new one from ford and put it on

The newer ones seem to hold up better but you could always get aftermarket.

I had the same problem a little while back. Check out stangsuspension.com

FYI: The Steeda swaybar at stangsuspension.com is about $130 shipped w/discount code right now. I've had mine for about a year or so and it's been fine.

Yes it is a common problem.


You can either just replace it with OEM, Steeda's or MM's or get the broke one welded

Very common issue.
A very common fix is the Roush Rear swaybar. It's under $70. And much better quality

 

[Ciotti]

Any idea what diameter the Roush bar is?

Don't waste your time looking for a Roush rear swaybar. They don't make them anymore.

About 8 months ago I managed to get my hands on one of the last 4 or 5 that were left.

Sounds good thanks guys.

I was actually looking at the Eibach anti-roll kit myself. Any thoughts on it?

Happened to me back in 2001. Bought a Steeda replacement, but it didn't fit with the factory lower control arms. Haven't had one since. Come to think of it...it should work with my new lower control arms. I wonder where I put that damn thing?

Broke the one on my 96 gt. It was the drivers side and man was it annoying on the drive home. Every bump made it rattle. I currently dont have one on the cobra and dont really care.
